'We didn't deserve to lose to Sheffield United' says West Ham United boss David Moyes after more VAR controversy at Bramall Lane

Chris Wilder, Moyes’ opposite number, signed a new deal at United prior to kick-off and then saw club record signing Oliver McBurnie score the only goal of the game early in the second half, following a glaring mistake by West Ham's substitute goalkeeper David Martin.

Former Leeds midfielder Robert Snodgrass, another Hammers sub, looked to have salvaged a draw for the visitors right at the end but replays showed that the ball had hit Declan Rice's arm in the build up.

The VAR decision was greeted like a second goal by the Bramall Lane faithful and ensured the Blades returned to winning ways following a tough festive period that saw them face Manchester City and Liverpool in back-to-back away matches.

But Moyes felt hard done to.

"First of all I thought my players were terrific. We didn't deserve to lose,” he said.

"It was a good goal. Anybody who has played football or been around the game knows it was a good goal. Declan Rice did really good to break through the middle.

"I'm just telling you it's a really good goal. From my point of view and the people who watch football, the decision is not right.

"I wouldn't say I'm a great fan [of VAR] but we have to come to terms with it. People who have played football know when it's not right and tonight is one of those situations."
