The Story So Far
West Ham United recorded a 2-1 win over Everton in a match defined by a late goal and a controversial officiating call. During the second half, the Video Assistant Referee declined to award Everton a penalty for an alleged handball. Everton manager David Moyes expressed surprise at the decision, suggesting that the officials reached the wrong conclusion. The non-award proved costly for the visitors as the Hammers secured the victory with a strike in the closing stages. While West Ham celebrates the narrow result, the opposition remains aggrieved by the refusal to grant a spot-kick during a crucial period of play.
