Jon Moss appears to be a referee players don’t respect.
In a relatively straightforward game the Wearside referee struggled to maintain control with virtually every decision being disputed and challenged.
The fact Moss cautioned seven players, five of them from West Ham, in a game without a nasty tackle showed how he failed to manage the match.
Even when he got decisions correct, waving aside Simone Zaza’s appeal for a penalty after diving being a case in point, the players appeared incredulous.
