David Moyes urges his West Ham players to 'keep fighting' for European football in spite of terrible run of costly red card decisions in Premier League

David Moyes believes sustaining West Ham’s heroic European push is the best antidote to the Premier League’s perceived poor treatment of the club.

Moyes was raging following last weekend’s controversial dismissal of defender Fabian Balbuena against Chelsea.

And just as when team-mate Thomas Soucek was wrongfully dismissed earlier in the season, the red card was rescinded allowing Balbuena to feature in Sunday's trip to Burnley.
