<\/p>\n
David Moyes was frustrated by some of the decisions made by referee Peter Bankes in the 2-2 draw with Newcastle.<\/p>\n
Mohammed Kudus climbed off the bench to score his first Premier League goal a minute from full-time as the Hammers snatched a point.<\/p>\n
But Moyes was fuming with Bankes for awarding a free-kick for Lucas Paqueta\u2019s challenge on Sandro Tonali which led to Alexander Isak\u2019s first goal.<\/p>\n
The Hammers boss also felt Bruno Guimaraes could have been shown a second yellow card, having been booked moments earlier, when he tripped James Ward-Prowse.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt might have got away from us a wee bit but I wouldn\u2019t blame them with the referee\u2019s decisions,\u201d said Moyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat came from the free-kick that got the first goal back. I think on another day it wouldn\u2019t have been given.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought that was pretty harsh on us, as was the decision early on which could have been a second yellow card. I\u2019m not going to say something to get me into trouble. I just think it was a really close call.\u201d<\/p>\n
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe defended his Brazilian midfielder.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cIt\u2019s one of those where he\u2019s made two challenges in quick succession which probably makes them look worse than they are. I think it would\u2019ve been incredibly harsh.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tomas Soucek fired West Ham into the lead after eight minutes but Isak\u2019s quickfire second-half double put Newcastle in control.<\/p>\n
Isak also hit a post from a tight angle before Ghana winger Kudus lashed in an equaliser from 20 yards.<\/p>\n
West Ham almost won it when Jarrod Bowen, on the day he signed a new long-term contract, fizzed the ball across goal and wide.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m pleased with a point,\u201d added Moyes. \u201cWe played well in the first half against a top team, one of the best teams in Europe the way they\u2019ve been playing.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was tough, they played really well. We had difficult moments but we stuck at it. We could have gone 3-1 down but we could have won it 3-2. The game was very close,\u201d<\/p>\n
Howe admitted Isak\u2019s late miss after rounding Hammers keeper Alphonse Areola proved costly.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s played really well today, he\u2019s gone round the keeper and done everything right, but the angle got too tight in the end. But when you\u2019ve drawn that\u2019s maybe a moment you\u2019d like to replay again.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a really tough first half, we weren\u2019t ourselves and probably deserved to be 1-0 down. It was totally different in the second half, we deserved to lead so it\u2019s disappointing not to get over the line.\u201d<\/p>\n
