Gary O'Neil shares what David Moyes said to him after 'terrible' VAR call in Wolves vs West Ham

Wolves manager Gary O'Neil has revealed that both David Moyes and Lukasz Fabianski admitted his side should not have been denied a last-minute equaliser in their 2-1 defeat to West Ham at Molineux.

The home team took a well-deserved lead in the first half when Pablo Sarabia successfully converted a penalty following a foul by Emerson Palmeri. The Hammers defender believed he had redeemed himself when he headed in a cross from Mohammed Kudus, only for referee Tony Harrington to disallow it after contact with Nelson Semedo.

Moyes did see his team level the score through Lucas Paqueta, who scored a penalty after Max Kilman blocked a cross with his arm. West Ham then went ahead when James Ward Prowse's corner bypassed everyone to land in Jose Sa's top corner.

Wolves pushed for an equaliser and thought they had found one when Kilman powered home a Joao Gomes corner in the ninth minute of injury time. However, Harrington was advised to review the monitor for what was termed a 'subjective offside' decision with Tawanda Chirewa standing in front of Lukasz Fabianksi.

After reviewing the replays, the referee disallowed the goal, sparking outrage from players, fans and coaching staff, reports the Mirror. O'Neil stormed onto the pitch at full-time to confront Harrington following a result that essentially extinguishes their European qualification dreams.

O'Neil lambasted the decision as 'one of the worst he has ever seen', a sentiment that he says was echoed by both the opposition manager and goalkeeper. «My view, David Moyes' view, Lukasz Fabianski's view is that it's a scandalous, terrible decision, I can't understand it at all. Can't think of an explanation to be honest, one of the worst decisions I've ever witnessed.
