VAR cost us against Liverpool — West Ham boss David Moyes

West Ham lost 2-1 to Liverpool at the London Stadium and the game was filled with contentious moments. 

A big talking point came at the end when the Hammers were convinced they should have had a late penalty when Thiago's arm hit the ball as he fell in the area but, despite a VAR check, nothing was given.

It was a decision that left Moyes infuriated and ensured Liverpool made it 11 wins from their last 13 meetings with West Ham to maintain their revival.

Moyes said:

 "You'll probably hear them come out with some rubbish about, he needed to break his fall. Well if you lunge at the ball it's your own fault for lunging and being out of control in the tackle. 

"You can break your fall by sliding and having to put your arm down. 

"Somebody in VAR didn't have enough football knowledge to understand that this could be close. 

"Whoever it was chose not to send the referee to look at it. VAR should have asked the referee to go check it out on the monitor, so VAR showed no respect for us at all."

This defeat leaves the Hammers in 14th place, just five points above the relegation zone with games against Crystal Palace, Manchester City, and West Ham on the horizon.
