Wolves were angered when Maximilian Kilman바카라™s goal in the ninth minute of stoppage time was disallowed, something O바카라™Neil described as 바카라śpossibly the worst decision I바카라™ve ever seen바카라ť.

VAR Darren England advised Harrington to check the monitor as Wolves substitute Tawanda Chirewa was stood in front of Lukasz Fabianski in an offside position and deemed to be impeding the West Ham goalkeeper.

Wolves바카라™ protests led to a flurry of yellow cards for those on O바카라™Neil바카라™s bench, and the manager said he walked towards the tunnel because he was aware he is one yellow card away from a touchline ban.

But O바카라™Neil바카라™s attempts to speak to Harrington after the game may yet lead to further problems.

바카라śUnfortunately I wasn바카라™t able to control my emotions and my feelings,바카라ť O바카라™Neil said. 바카라śI was in with the referee and it didn바카라™t go too well so I haven바카라™t had an explanation.

바카라śBut the explanation is irrelevant anyway because everyone I바카라™ve spoken to, David Moyes, Fabianski, they all can바카라™t believe it바카라™s been given for offside. It바카라™s a terrible decision.바카라ť

O바카라™Neil said Harrington shut down their conversation 바카라śprobably because of the way I asked바카라ť, adding that he was 바카라śin a fairly bad mood바카라ť when he went to the referee바카라™s room.

바카라śI don바카라™t know if it will be reported,바카라ť O바카라™Neil added. 바카라śIf I get told off, so be it. I바카라™ve been told off many times before. I will apologise if I바카라™ve stepped over the line but I can only react on how I feel at that moment.바카라ť

West Ham came from behind to win with James Ward-Prowse scoring directly from a corner after Lucas Paqueta바카라™s penalty cancelled out a first-half spot-kick from Pablo Sarabia.

Moyes expressed sympathy for O바카라™Neil but said any player stood where Chirewa had was at risk of being penalised for offside.

Asked if his side had got away with a decision, the Scot said: 바카라śI think I바카라™m probably the last man at the moment to say you바카라™re getting away with one. We바카라™ve had so many poor decisions it is unbelievable in recent weeks.

바카라śWhen I바카라™ve looked at it again, the boy바카라™s definitely standing in front of the goalkeeper바카라¦and if that player is not going to try to get back onside then there바카라™s a chance you바카라™ll be called offside.

바카라śBut I have to say I felt for Gary because the way I바카라™ve felt the last 2-3 weeks with the decisions we바카라™ve had, I바카라™ve been sitting in a dark room for a week.바카라ť

Wolves have disputed several refereeing decisions throughout the season, and O바카라™Neil said his players felt they had been disrespected.

바카라śThe players are unbelievably frustrated with the decision-making and officiating,바카라ť he said.

바카라śThey had a discussion as a group, they don바카라™t feel like they바카라™re being respected by the officials and I바카라™ve talked them down a couple of times from figuring out what they want to do about that.

바카라śI can바카라™t expect them not to this time, I understand how they feel about it, and whatever they decide to do about it is up to them.바카라ť

Wolves had deservedly led at the break, but West Ham improved massively after the half-time introduction of Michail Antonio and Ben Johnson.

바카라śI think the two teams changed shirts at half-time,바카라ť Moyes said.

But the win may have come at a cost with Jarrod Bowen limping off as Thursday바카라™s Europa League match away to Bayer Leverkusen looms.

바카라śHe바카라™s had a knee into his hip, or into his back,바카라ť Moyes said. 바카라śIt바카라™s not a twist but he바카라™s really stiff. I바카라™ve had one or two of those myself and they don바카라™t go away too quickly so we need to hope it doesn바카라™t linger with him.바카라ť
