West Ham pair furious after QPR flashpoint – 'Worse than I thought'

West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo and midfielder Tomas Soucek were left in no doubt about a refereeing mistake in Friday's draw with Queens Park Rangers . The visitors went ahead from the penalty spot after Soucek was penalised for a challenge on Paul Smyth. Not only was the challenge outside the box, but Soucek appeared to cleanly win the ball. With no VAR in the Championship , though, the decision from referee Ruebyn Ricardo stood and Nicolas Madsen converted from the spot. West Ham brought themselves level in the second half through Jarrod Bowen .
