Wolves boss Gary O'Neil felt defeat at home to West Ham was due to a series of "crazy" incidents.

O'Neil was particularly aggrieved being denied an injury-time equaliser by VAR.

He said after the 2-1 loss: How we've lost that football match today is unbelievable, so I'm really disappointed.

There are some bits of it that we will be disappointed with as a team, but understanding where we are at the moment is really important. West Ham are at full strength pretty much and we're down, having played no striker, and completely dominated the first half.

The football was fantastic, although we didn't have as much as a goal threat that we'd have liked, but I'm sure everyone understands why and then in the second half, West Ham had a go and we didn't have anything.

But they didn't create anything really. We gave them a crazy penalty and then the corner curls into the far post I've not seen a goal like it since I was in kids' football. So it was three crazy events, firstly from us to let them back into the game, secondly the second goal which we could do better with, and then the VAR decision at the end. Three crazy incidents which have handed West Ham the three points that they didn't deserve."
