West Ham 1-2 Liverpool: Hammers boss David Moyes wants apology after being denied late penalty

Manager David Moyes felt his West Ham side were owed an apology after being "disrespected" by not being awarded a late penalty against Liverpool.

The Hammers lost 2-1 on Wednesday but Moyes was angry a spot-kick was not given after Thiago's arm hit the ball.

Referee Chris Kavanagh did not give a penalty and video assistant referee Neil Swarbrick did not tell him to review the incident on a monitor.

"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.
