West Ham manager David Moyes branded the decision to disallow a late goal for his side at Chelsea as ‘a ridiculously bad decision’ following their 2-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge.

Moments after Kai Havertz gave Chelsea a 2-1 lead, Maxwel Cornet struck what he thought to be an equaliser after a mix-up between Reece James and Edouard Mendy.

Referee Andy Madley was sent to the monitor by VAR Jarred Gillet at Stockley Park to have another look at Cornet’s goal for an apparent soft challenge on Chelsea goalkeeper Mendy by Jarrod Bowen.

Madley ruled out the goal after looking at the monitor – and Moyes held back nothing in his disapproval of the officials’ decision in his press conference, insisting he has “lost faith” in the refereeing in the game and hit out at Mendy for “faking an injury”.

“Have you seen it?” a disgruntled Moyes said. “The goalkeeper comes to take it and fumbles it out of his hands. Then he acted as if it was a shoulder injury. I’m amazed that VAR sent the referee to the screen. I thought when I saw it even if he goes to the TV there’s no way he’s overturning this. It was a ridiculously bad decision.
