What some Liverpool fans were pictured doing at the London Stadium during the West Ham clash is a disgrace.
West Ham have been extremely harshly done by in their previous two 1-0 defeats to Liverpool.
And it was the same old story as the Reds got all the decisions and a big helping hand from the Premier League’s abysmal VAR to beat the Hammers 2-1.
Lucas Paqueta had given West Ham a deserved lead over Liverpool in stunning style with a bullet from outside the box.
Liverpool looked like they were there for the taking at the back – as they have done for much of the season.
But Jurgen Klopp’s side equalised when Nayef Aguerd allowed Cody Gakpo far too much time outside the box and he hit a bouncing strike into the corner from distance.
Li-VAR-pool edge out unlucky Hammers again
Jarrod Bowen saw a wonderful goal ruled out for offside by VAR. And the Reds improved before getting what turned out to be the winner when Joel Matip headed home from a corner.
As West Ham looked for a way back into the game, Thiago Alcantara clearly handled the ball not once by twice in the box after a reckless lunge.
Referee Chris Kavanagh did not give the penalty and VAR did not even send him to the monitor to review the incident.
That sent David Moyes into a rage as he chased the official down at full-time and unleashed a tirade.
While that was going on, scenes on the terraces should be a source of shame for Liverpool.

Because what some Liverpool fans were pictured doing at the London Stadium during the West Ham clash was a disgrace.
Images and footage has emerged online showing some Liverpool fans ripping out seats from the stadium in the away end.
Dozens of Liverpool supporters were also in the home end – many wearing the club’s red strip – causing angry scenes among West Ham fans.
And there were several pitch invasions from people wearing Liverpool shirts during the match.
There are reports some of the Liverpool fans getting into the home end goaded the home supporters by celebrating the goals but then took exception to being asked to leave.
Those involved need to be punished. It is completely unacceptable and if it was West Ham fans doing the same at Anfield, action would be taken and it would be plastered all over the sports media.
West Ham must also seriously get a grip on tickets in the home end falling into the hands of away fans – it simply is not on.
