David Moyes and Declan Rice were both left furious and accused Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy of ‘faking’ a shoulder injury after a controversial late VAR decision saw West Ham leave Stamford Bridge empty-handed.
The Hammers found themselves 2-1 behind heading into the closing stages of the game in West London but thought they had snatched a valuable point through Maxwel Cornet’s first goal since his summer switch from Burnley. The Ivorian had smashed home after collecting the ball from a poor claim from Blues stopper Mendy.
However, their celebrations were cut short as VAR chalked the goal off due to a foul on the Chelsea man by Jarrod Bowen - a decision that has left the vast majority of spectators baffled.
