Wolves chief O’Neil raged: “I don’t understand it. I can’t think of an explanation. It was possibly one of the worst decisions I’ve ever seen.

“I went in to see him for an explanation. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to refrain my feelings when I was in there with him.

“I asked some questions, he didn’t like how I was asking them and we agreed we shouldn’t carry on.

“I don’t know what happens now and whether he’ll report me but the explanation is irrelevant anyway.”

Sub Tawanda Chirewa was ruled offside  in front of Hammers No 1 Lukasz Fabianski so Max Kilman’s goal was struck off.

Some of O’Neil’s backroom team were booked over protests after Harrington was told to go to the monitor by VAR Tim Robinson.

O’Neil added: “I’m not even sure how many of my staff were booked after the final whistle.

“If that decision is the letter of the law then the law needs to be changed.”

He also claimed that opposition boss David Moyes agreed with him.

But the West Ham chief said: “The way football is going, if you don’t get yourself back onside when you’re marking the goalkeeper — by what we’ve seen it looks offside.

“I’m the last person to ask about the goal. We’ve had so many decisions go against us this season.

“Some would make you feel like going into a dark room for a week. So I can understand why Gary’s upset and I feel for him.”
