It looked like West Ham was going to grab a victory in Sussex thanks to Jarrod Bowen's great goal. But then Rutter scored late in the game, tying things up.

The replays showed that the French player may have accidentally touched the ball with his hand before scoring. But the Premier League Match Centre put out a statement explaining why the goal was allowed.

The referee's call was looked at and confirmed by VAR. It was decided that Rutter's arm was in a normal position, and he didn't intentionally use his hand. Plus, the contact with his arm didn't directly lead to the goal, the statement said, agreeing with the VAR decision.

West Ham's coach, Nuno, was not happy with the call.

"It was a handball and a high foot," Nuno told Sky Sports.

“I don't even need to talk to the referee. I think it was the main thing in the game. It’s obvious. I saw it; everyone saw it. VAR saw it as well. Both things should be checked. It’s hard to accept, especially after how hard the team worked and the fans supported us, making us feel like we were in London.

“Then this happens, and everyone sees it. It’s tough to accept.”

Because of this result, West Ham is now in the relegation zone. If they had won, they would be in 17th place, out of the relegation zone.

West Ham falls back into the bottom three after a late goal ties the game.

After James Tarkowski's off-the-ball incident with Dan Ndoye, Nottingham Forest filed a complaint with the PGMOL. The supposed foul occurred in the 11th minute of Forest’s 3-0 loss to Everton on Saturday.

Forest thinks Tarkowski's shoulder on Ndoye should have been seen as violent conduct, which means a red card. Referee Chris Kavanagh didn't see the play, and VAR official James Bell didn't think it was serious enough to change the call.

Sean Dyche said after the game, “I told Tarky that I respect him, but how did he get away with that in the first half? I don’t know what’s happening.

“The referee didn’t see it, and neither did the other officials, but VAR saw it and did nothing.

“I’m very surprised, and I already told Tarkowski I was going to say this. Also, the second goal bounced off the referee, which sent it right to their player.

“Those things happen when you’re not playing well, and you really don’t need them going against you.

“Everton seemed more motivated. I'm not talking about skill. I mean, they had more drive, and we didn't have enough. It's a reminder to our team that we need that baseline, and then our good play will follow.”

David Moyes said, "We’ve won four of the last five, with one bad game, the Newcastle game, but we’re winning, scoring, and keeping clean sheets."

If we want to be successful, we need to keep getting clean sheets, which we’re finally doing more often.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall also commented, "Aside from the Newcastle defeat, we’re clicking and playing great." We were the better team, and they didn't cause us many issues.

Europe is a real goal. The club, ownership, and stadium all point to European football. Anything can happen, but we're moving in the right direction.
