King had coolly tucked away his first senior goal for the Cottagers to put the visitors ahead in the London derby.
But celebrations with the travelling support were cut short when referee Rob Jones was told to review a foul in the build up.
King had brilliantly brought the ball forward himself and tucked his effort into the bottom corner.
But teammate Muniz was deemed to have fouled Chalobah while trying to perform a roulette in the build up.
Muniz, turned while in possession of the ball and stood on the foot of the Chelsea defender who was trying to tackle him.
