David Moyes hits out at VAR official over Southampton’s goal and penalty claim in West Ham draw

West Ham United boss David Moyes has hit out at referee Peter Bankes and VAR official Simon Hooper after the Hammers’ 1-1 draw with Southampton on Sunday.

Romain Perraud opened the scoring with a deflected effort from distance but, in the build-up to the goal, referee Bankes appeared to get in the way of West Ham winger Jarrod Bowen’s as he attempted to defend at the end of a long throw, with Tomas Soucek failing to clear at the first attempt.

The goal was given without a check on VAR and Moyes was left baffled at the fact that the strike was given, suggesting that it was the reason between the Hammers winning and drawing the game.
