West Ham fans furious at referee after last-gasp defeat at Bournemouth

Bournemouth got a much-needed win in their fight against the drop after Josh King's hat-trick gave them a 3-2 victory over West Ham United.

But fans of the visiting team were left fuming after they feel they were not given the rub of the green by referee Bobby Madley. The Yorkshire-born official gave two first-half penalties to the hosts - both of which were missed - and denied two penalty appeals from the visitors for marginal handball calls. There were also appeals for offside for King's second goal, though the same could be said for André Ayew's equaliser, and there were appeals for a foul on the Ghana international in the build up to the late winner. Each of the contentious decisions could have gone either way, while Bournemouth dominated possession and had more shots on goal than their opponents. This is football, though, and you know what happens in football. https://twitter.com/JoshuaClaydon/status/840608422039027712 https://twitter.com/kumbdotcom/status/840592701972180993 https://twitter.com/Boy123Billy/status/840593146480328704 https://twitter.com/JBUDS1/status/840601750910455808 https://twitter.com/Kxuyate/status/840605085935783937 https://twitter.com/BilicBible/status/840605450408202240 https://twitter.com/ffsPatrick/status/840607814699622404 The three points lift Bournemouth six points clear of the bottom three, though Middlesbrough can bring that total back down to five if they win their game in hand. West Ham remain 11th, but are now just three points ahead of Bournemouth with 10 games of the season remaining.
