Pulis defends Oliver’s decision to disallow goal
Feghouli scored but the linesman’s flag was immediately raised for what appeared to be an offside call on Michail Antonio – deemed to be interfering with play. However, Craig Dawson appeared to be playing the West Ham players onside as he lay on the ground following a clash inside the box with his own keeper.
“I don’t think it was a goal,” Pulis said. “The lad’s come from an offside position.
“What everybody’s missed is that he actually pushes Ben. When they slow it down, hopefully you’ll watch MOTD tonight or whatever you watch, he pushes Ben as the shot’s being taken. He runs past Ben and actually pushes him so I don’t think it’s a goal.
“And it wasn’t a goal.”
The Baggies boss also thought Oliver was correct in waving away several penalty appeals from the home side.
The strongest claim came from a clumsy Jake Livermore challenge on Robert Snodgrass in the first half.
“I think the ref got most of those decisions right,” he said. “The one I was disappointed with that he gave was Noble’s one.
“I think everyone can see that.”
“That was one Mike got wrong.”
