David Moyes 'embarrassed' for Mike Dean and VAR after Tomas Soucek's late red card for 'accidental coming together' with striker Alexander Mitrovic in draw with Fulham

David Moyes said he was 'embarrassed' for referee Mike Dean over his decision to award Tomas Soucek a red card in stoppage time as West Ham were held to a goalless draw at Fulham.

The Hammers were reduced to 10 men when the towering midfielder was dismissed in added time - following an extensive VAR review - for putting his elbow in Aleksandar Mitrovic's face.

Referee Dean consulted the pitchside monitor, after being invited to do so by VAR official Lee Mason, having initially waved play on.

The pair were also involved in another controversial decision earlier this week, when Dean sent off Southampton's Jan Bednarek during a 9-0 defeat by Manchester United, with the club launching a successful appeal that saw the red card rescinded.
