INCIDENT: West Ham were adamant they should have had a penalty for Anel Ahmedhodzic's challenge on Jarrod Bowen, but the referee gave it the other way as a handball.
DERMOT SAYS: "I think it's a penalty and I thought it was when I first saw it.
"The clue for me is the defender is looking away from the ball. The ball comes over his head and he drags Bowen down.
"But the referee gave a handball against Bowen, with his argument being that he thinks Bowen has got hold of the defender first and that's why his arm is in that position.
