Bournemouth boss Gary O'Neil blasts 'blatant handball' in the build-up to Kurt Zouma's opening goal as the Cherries collapse to 2-0 defeat against West Ham...but Jamie Carragher insists VAR made the CORRECT decision

Bournemouth manager Gary O'Neil has been left seething after VAR's involvement in both of West Ham's goal during his side's 2-0 loss away at the London Stadium on Monday night.

O'Neil was shown a yellow card for his protests after Hammers defender Kurt Zouma scored in the minutes before half-time.

The ball struck the hand of German defender Thilo Kehrer as Jarrod Bowen's corner was whipped into the Cherries box, but VAR deemed this intervention didn't warrant the goal being chalked off.
