West Ham United let a three goal lead slip against Arsenal yesterday. The players were to blame of course. Jonathan Moss played a part as well, however.

The Hammers eventually drew 3-3 with the Gunners.
And the West Ham fans were left feeling sick.
Things could have been so different, however, had Jonathan Moss not made a horrendous error when the scoreline was 3-1.
Michail Antonio was brought down just before laying the ball off to Jesse Lingard.
The 28-year-old was bursting through on goal with Said Benrahma in acres of space to his right.
Moss blew up for the foul on Antonio, however, rather than give West Ham the advantage.
It really was an absolute joke of a decision from Moss. David Moyes was absolutely fuming. And rightly so.
Moss let the Gunners off big-time and it could be argued that the pathetic call from the referee allowed the North London outfit to leave the London Stadium with a point.
Jonathan Moss error costs West Ham against Arsenal
The rest is history. West Ham failed to beat Arsenal.
And one photo perfectly sums up the Hammers’ afternoon:
Moss has had a horrendous campaign so far this season.
Questions really need to be asked pertaining to his ability to referee at the very highest level.
He makes the same mistakes week in week out. And that just isn’t good enough or a Premier League official.
Moss’s error yesterday was arguably his worst of the season.
And it ended up costing West Ham dearly.
