Cristian Romero was clearly far from impressed with the referee’s decision to disallow Micky van de Ven’s strike in Sunday’s defeat to Arsenal.
The Gunners took an early lead when Bukayo Saka’s corner was headed into his own net by Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
The home side thought they had got back on level terms when Van de Ven pounced on a loose ball to slot past David Raya.
However, VAR ruled that the Holland international was marginally offside despite Pedro Porro’s shot bouncing off Gabriel Magalhaes.
And Romero took to X to to claim that West Ham had a similar goal stand during their 2-1 victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium earlier this season.

A shot deflected off Romero and another Tottenham defender on that occasion, allowing Jarred Bowen to fire home.
Romero wrote: ‘West Ham scored the same goal against us at home’, clearly frustrated with the decision.’

However, the defender was swift to delete the post and it was probably because he was actually the man playing Bowen onside for the goal.
