'SO WRONG'

Moyes ‘in dressing room row with ref over scandalously disallowing’ West Ham goal and accuses Mendy of ‘faking injury’

DAVID MOYES fumed at the "scandalous decision" to disallow Maxwel Cornet's equaliser against Chelsea - and let the referee know it.

The West Ham boss also accused keeper Edouard Mendy of "faking injury" which resulted in the goal being chalked off.

Moyes said: "You have seen it, it is a scandalous decision, absolutely rotten from one of the supposedly elite referees - it doesn't say much about whoever sent him over from VAR as well - it is an unbelievable decision against us.

"We feel we got back to 2-2 and it was not down to anything we have done.

"I support a lot of the VAR stuff, I actually think the goalkeeper dives, he is faking an injury because he cannot get to the next one - he did the same on the first goal as well.

"The referee somehow gets that so wrong it is incredible."

West Ham opened the lead after Michail Antonio bundled in from close range following a corner.

But Chelsea turned it around thanks to supersubs Ben Chilwell and Kai Havertz.

Although Havertz's winner threatened to be cancelled out just moments later as Cornet hammered home.

But in the build up, Jarrod Bowen collided with Mendy before Cornet converted from the loose ball.

VAR official Jarred Gillett advised Andy Madley to go over to the monitor and check the goal.

Replays appeared to show little contact between Bowen and Mendy but after the Senegalese stopper stayed down, the play was brought back.
