West Ham to register complaint
The fuming east Londoners are to make their feelings clear to referees’ chief Mike Riley before deciding whether to pursue the case with the FA.
Wilson later said: “I put a little touch on it, to our delight, but not so much for West Ham”
When questioned by reporters about what touch he got onto the ball, the striker cheekily replied: “Magic.”
West Ham believes the incident should be treated in the same way as it would have been had Wilson dived to win a penalty. Manuel Lanzini received a two-match ban for deceiving a match official and Wilson could face the same investigation if West Ham’s complaint is investigated.
Referee Bobby Madley and assistant referee Simon Long have been vilified for their performances.
