Hernandez takes a swipe at ref

Hernandez is different level

Javier Hernandez took a swipe at referee Lee Mason following the Hammers heartbreak defeat at St Mary’s this afternoon.

Charlie Austin’s winning spot kick made Chicharito’s brace meaningless but the Mexican was full of praise for the side which battled bravely with 10 men for an hour.

He said: “When you are running most of the game with 10 men, the penalty decision is harsh.

“We spoke about Marko Arnautovic’s sending off, it is not completely a red card.

“It shows the character of this team that we do not give up. You have to look at the positives and to look forward.

“It is hard with 11 men but with 10 men it is even harder.

“I gained motivation and confidence and happy I scored two but the result is what stays in your head.”
