West Ham boss David Moyes slammed VAR after victory at Leeds United on Friday night.

Leeds had gone in front when Mateusz Klich converted a twice-taken sixth-minute penalty, with VAR ordering the retake after ruling keeper Lukasz Fabianski had stepped off his goalline.

However, the visitors - who had won just once on the previous 26 occasions when they had conceded first in a Premier League game - levelled when Illan Meslier failed to stop Tomas Soucek's soft header and won it with 10 minutes to go through Angelo Ogbonna's header.

"There are some terrible decisions that are happening at the moment," Moyes said.

"Whoever saw it must have had [Fabianski's foot] X-rayed. The decision was rubbish.

"It was a definite penalty. I was angry. I am still angry. This is the way football has gone.

"I think his heel is on the line. You need to have a microscope to see it. Surely the benefit should go to the goalkeeper, he has made the save. The game continued for 15 seconds and carried on. I am disappointed and angry with it."
