'He needs to be subbed' - West Ham boss David Moyes fumes at VAR after Tottenham defeat

David Moyes was furious at the decision to allow Tottenham Hotspur's first goal in their 2-0 win over West Ham.

Spurs had already had one goal chalked off through VAR when Tomas Soucek turned into his own net from a corner midway through the second half.

Yet replays showed that the ball had glanced off the arm of Spurs defender Davinson Sanchez when the corner was delivered into the box.

Moyes only got a chance to see the replay post-match and hit out at the VAR decision to allow the goal and not penalise the handball - going as far as to ask Sky Sports' Geoff Shreeves who was on duty at Stockley Park for the game.

The West Ham boss was further incensed by the fact his side had a similar goal ruled out at Sheffield United earlier in the season.

He said: "I can't believe they've ruled that as a goal.

"I thought the rules was any handball that leads to a goal is disallowed.

“We had a great goal scored against Sheffield United in the last minute for something and they have not ruled that out.

“Who is on VAR tonight? Who is doing VAR tonight? Do we know who it was?

“They need to be subbed, I know that, not very good.

“That is the rules. I don't particularly think it is a good rule, but that is the rules.

“Not to give that tonight, I can’t believe it.”
