'Whoever was on VAR needs to go SPECSAVERS!': David Moyes fumes at officials as the West Ham boss blamed the referee for blocking Jarrod Bowen while a foul on Tomas Soucek was like a 'judo move' in draw against Southampton

West Ham manager David Moyes has blasted officials for costing his side three points in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Southampton, insisting that Tomas Soucek should have been awarded a 'definite penalty'.

The Saints took the lead at St Mary's through Romain Perraud as he intercepted a pass destined for Bowen, with the referee blocking the Englishman from getting to the ball.

Bowen at the time raised his hands for play to stop with Perraud scoring with a shot from outside the box seconds later to put his side in front.
