West Ham 1-2 Liverpool: After being denied a late penalty, Hammers manager David Moyes requests an apology

Posted : 27 April 2023
West Ham's manager David Moyes believed his team deserved an apology after being "disrespected" by Liverpool by not receiving a late penalty.

Moyes was incensed when a spot-kick was not awarded after Thiago's arm touched the ball during Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Hammers.

Video assistant referee Neil Swarbrick did not instruct referee Chris Kavanagh to see the incident on a monitor, and neither did he award a penalty.

"VAR, for me, showed no respect whatsoever to us," said Moyes.

"You'll probably hear them coming out with some rubbish about he [Thiago] needed to break his fall, but if you lunge, it's your own fault for lunging and being out of control in the tackle.

"When you lunge for the ball, that completely nullifies anything they're saying about breaking your fall. I think it's a penalty kick.

"The hardest thing to take is the disrespect from VAR, that VAR wouldn't have at least said to the referee that this might be worth having a look. That tells me they don't see that as even close to a decision. I'm surprised.

"Somebody in VAR didn't have enough football knowledge to understand that this could be close."

This season, PGMOL, body of a referee has offered its sincere apologies to Brighton and Arsenal following mistakes made by referees during Premier League games.
