West Ham intend to complain to the referees\u2019 body, Professional Game Match Officials, over the decision to disallow Callum Wilson\u2019s goal<\/a> after David Raya was deemed to have been fouled by Pablo. The drama dealt another blow to their hopes of staying in the Premier League and the club plan to contact PGMO for clarity over why Pablo was penalised.<\/p>\n

Although West Ham accept their complaint is unlikely to get them anywhere, they are expected to ask for the audio between the referee, Chris Kavanagh, and the video assistant referee, Darren England. Kavanagh was advised by England to go the pitchside monitor to review the incident.<\/p>\n

West Ham, who would have drawn level on points with 17th-placed Tottenham if the goal had stood and the match ended 1-1, were left fuming over what they regard as a lack of consistency in the penalising of challenges at set pieces. Many former referees have said Kavanagh and England got the call spot-on.<\/p>\n

Football\u2019s lawmaking body, the International Football Association Board, is expected to discuss how best to deal with grappling at set plays as part of its next round of discussions starting in the autumn.<\/p>\n

Arsenal\u2019s manager, Mikel Arteta, said the decision on Sunday could determine \u201cthe history of two massive clubs<\/a> that are fighting with their lives to achieve their objectives\u201d and described the officials as \u201cvery brave\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"West Ham intend to complain to the referees\u2019 body, Professional Game Match Officials, over the decision to disallow…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":662416,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":["post-662415","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/662415","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=662415"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/662415\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/662416"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=662415"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=662415"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=662415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
