WEST HAM manager David Moyes will not be punished despite his fiery comments aimed at the referee’s “scandalous decision” to deny his team an equaliser against Chelsea.
That is according to The Times, who report the FA have reviewed Moyes’ statement but decided it didn’t meet the threshold for disciplinary action.

The Hammers lost 2-1 to the Blues on Saturday at Stamford Bridge after Maxwel Cornet’s 90th-minute strike was controversially chalked off after match official Andy Madley consulted with the VAR monitor.
Madley made the controversial decision after Jarrod Bowen appeared to have collided with Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy in the build-up before Cornet converted from the loose ball.
Moyes was enraged as he was seen confronting the ref on the pitch and according to talkSPORT, the Scottish tactician carried on the row in the referee’s room before his fiery post-match interview.
The ex-Manchester United boss said: “You have seen it, it is a scandalous decision, absolutely rotten from one of the supposedly elite referees – it doesn’t say much about whoever sent him over from VAR as well – it is an unbelievable decision against us.
“We feel we got back to 2-2 and it was not down to anything we have done.
“I support a lot of the VAR stuff, I actually think the goalkeeper dives, he is faking an injury because he cannot get to the next one – he did the same on the first goal as well.
“The referee somehow gets that so wrong it is incredible.”
However, it has been decided Moyes will not be punished and will be in the dugout for West Ham‘s clash with Newcastle next Sunday at the London Stadium.
