David Moyes reveals West Ham VAR crunch talks with ref chiefs as fury rages on after Liverpool handball rejection

West Ham manager David Moyes says he has spoken to PGMOL about the decision which robbed his side of the chance to equalise late on against Liverpool on Wednesday to leave the Hammers in the relegation battle.

Spanish midfielder Thiago Alcantara appeared to handle the ball twice in one movement in the dying embers of the Reds' trip down to the London Stadium earlier this week, and with the score standing at 2-1 to Jurgen Klopp 's men, a penalty would've almost certainly changed the dynamic of the game with such little time remaining.

Moyes was unhappy with the turn of events, with referee Chris Kavanagh failing to go over and check the VAR screen in what could've had big implications at both ends of the table. Maxwel Cornet had a goal ruled out for a last-minute equaliser at Chelsea back in September, with the Premier League formally apologising to the Irons over the incident - both of which have now further hampered their chances of survival. And Moyes told reporters he had spoken to PGMOL head Howard Webb about Wednesday's decision in a tightlipped manner.
