New West Ham signing Maxwel Cornet looked to have delivered a point for his side at Stamford Bridge when he put the ball in the net late against Chelsea. However a 2-2 draw turned to a 2-1 defeat when a VAR review meant that the goal was chalked off due to a Jarrod Bowen foul on Chelsea's goalkeeper, Edouard Mendy. David Moyes and Declan Rice were furious.
Klopp: 'If you can't win the derby, don't lose it!'
David Moyes and Declan Rice both hit out at a VAR decision that cost West Ham a point against Chelsea.
A late Maxwel Cornet strikke appeared to have secured a draw for the away side at Stamford Bridge as Thomas Tuchel looked on the cusp of another early-season disappointment in the Premier League.
However after a VAR review, the goal was disallowed due to a perceived foul by striker Jarrod Bowen on Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.
That led to criticism from Moyes after the match.
"It is a scandalous decision," said Moyes. "The referee gave it and I don't know who sent him from VAR, but I always thought he would say it is a goal once he went to the screen.
"I have seen it from all angles and find it incredibly difficult to see how that is chalked off. I don't know who in VAR sent him there."
On Twitter, West Ham midfielder RIce - a rumoured Chelsea transfer target - went further still.
“That’s up there with one of the worst VAR decisions made since it’s come into the game. Shambles,” he wrote.
