David Moyes has bemoaned a series of refereeing decisions in the run of results that had West Ham sitting just a place outside the relegation zone coming into this fixture, but tonight he can thank one for setting his side en route to the victory that, such is the condensed nature of the Premier League table, has them climbing into the top half.
At Stamford Bridge at the start of September, Moyes’ side were robbed of a point by a horrendously forensic VAR call, then at St. Mary’s little more than a week ago, perhaps denied all three by an official keen to get a little too involved.
