In Saturday's Premier League match, Westham were defeated by Chelsea 1-2 on the road. At the end of the match, Westham's Garnett had a chance to equalize the score, but VAR technology ruled that Chelsea's goalkeeper Eduardo Aventis had committed a foul in the first hand, and the goal was ruled null and void. After the match, Westham's team leader Moyes was agitated and blamed Aidoo Yavendi for "fake wrestling", and there were reports that he angrily barged into the referee's dressing room to express his extreme dissatisfaction with the referee.
There was slight physical contact between Chaloboyun and Edouard Yavendi during the tackle before Gornet's shot, leading to the ball witnesses ruling it a fake. Moyes expressed his anger at the decision: 'It's scandalous! I've always supported VAR but this decision is unbelievable. I don't know who is in control of VAR, and most regrettably, these are supposed to be top class referees, and I have now lost all faith in Premier League referee enforcement."
Moyes also accused Aidoo Yawendi of "faking it": "Chelsea goalkeeper Aidoo Yawendi faked an injury after a missed tackle, and did the same for the first goal, and the referee surprisingly let him get away with it." According to talkSPORT UK, Moyes could be penalized by the FA after he lost his temper after the match and entered the ball witness dressing room to question him.
