David Moyes slams 'LUDICROUS' VAR decision to disallow a West Ham goal despite dominant win over Watford and claims system has regressed to 'a year-and-a-half ago with soft free-kicks'

In spite of West Ham's dominant 4-1 over Watford, David Moyes lamented what he sees as a regression in VAR.

The Scot was irked by a 'ludicrous' decision not to allow a goal for his side due to what he deemed as a soft free-kick before Jarrod Bowen fired home.

After the game, in which Mark Noble, Tomas Soucek, Said Benrahma and Nikola Vlasic scored, Moyes said: 'It looks like we’ve gone back to the way we were a year and a half ago with soft free-kicks.
