Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Gary O’Neil expressed his frustration after VAR controversially ruled out a 99th-minute equalizer against West Ham United, labeling it as “possibly the worst decision I’ve ever seen.” The incident occurred when substitute Tawanda Chirewa was deemed offside in front of the Hammers’ goalkeeper, leading to Max Kilman’s goal being disallowed.

O’Neil confronted referee Tony Harrington after the match, admitting that he could face an FA charge for his actions. He stated, “I don’t understand it. I can’t think of an explanation. It was possibly one of the worst decisions I’ve ever seen.” Despite his disagreement with the decision, O’Neil acknowledged that the explanation would likely be irrelevant.

The Wolves boss claimed that West Ham manager David Moyes agreed with him on the decision, highlighting the contentious nature of the ruling. Moyes, however, refrained from directly commenting on the incident, noting the frustrations of VAR decisions but expressing sympathy for O’Neil’s disappointment.
