The Toffees boss couldn't hide his frustration as a late handball call went against his side in West Ham defeat.
David Moyes was left scratching his head after what he described as a baffling VAR decision cost Everton dearly in their 2-1 loss to West Ham at Goodison Park. The Scottish tactician watched his side surrender a late lead, but it was the referee's failure to award a clear penalty for handball that had him fuming post-match.
The controversy erupted in the second half when what appeared to be a stone-wall penalty appeal was waved away by both the on-field referee and the VAR team. Moyes didn't mince words in his assessment, describing himself as "amazed" that such an obvious infringement could be overlooked by the officials.
The defeat leaves Everton in a precarious position as they continue their fight for Premier League survival. With every point crucial at this stage of the season, decisions like these could prove pivotal in determining whether the Toffees maintain their top-flight status.
For West Ham, the victory provides a much-needed boost as they look to climb away from the relegation zone. The Hammers will be relieved to have escaped with three points, knowing full well they rode their luck with the penalty decision that could have changed the entire complexion of the match.
