David Moyes refuses to compare Maxwel Cornet and Tomas Soucek incidents vs Chelsea

David Moyes has claimed VAR not giving a penalty for Tomas Soucek's handball does not make up for Maxwel Cornet's disallowed goal earlier in the season.

West Ham United picked up a point against Chelsea during Saturday's early kick-off in the Premier League, with Emerson scoring against his former club after Joao Felix opened the scoring.

With the game about to end, the Blues felt they had a legitimate penalty not given when Soucek appeared to handle a Conor Gallagher shot.

No penalty was given and when asked in his post-match press conference for his thoughts on the VAR decision and Soucek's disallowed goal, the Hammers would have taken a 2-1 lead, Moyes said he hadn't seen either.

However, in the first match-up between the two sides, Cornet's late strike was disallowed to prevent the Hammers from snatching a point at Stamford Bridge back in September.

And when asked whether the two decisions evened themselves out, Moyes said that you can't compare the two incidents.

"Was it a handball from Tomas they are saying? No, it can never be in comparison, never put that in comparison of what happened to us at Chelsea. Not even close," he said.

"[Why?] Because the other one was game-changing for us and at different times. I don’t think that. I’ve not seen it so I can’t comment on the handball that they are talking about today. I actually didn’t know about it until I came into the press office and hear what the television thought about it."
