DAVID MOYES confronted referee Bobby Madley at the final whistle after Callum Wilson’s equaliser in the third minute of added time was allowed to stand.

Both West Ham manager Moyes and his Bournemout­h counterpar­t Eddie Howe were baffled as to what happened in the aftermath of Wilson’s goal and could not say whether the linesman had flagged for offside or handball.

The Cherries fell behind to James Collins’ early header but Dan Gosling equalised before halftime. When Ake swept in Cook’s freefound kick to put the home side 2-1 up, it seemed that there would only be one winner.

But after Moyes brought Javier Hernandez and Andy Carroll off the bench, the Hammers were transforme­d.

The result keeps Bournemout­h in the bottom three with just one win from their past nine league games.
