West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice has lashed out after a VAR decision cost his side a late equaliser against Sheffield United.

The Hammers went down 1-0 to Chris Wilder's side courtesy of Oli McBurnie's second-half goal but Robert Snodgrass appeared to have equalised late on, only for the goal to be ruled out by VAR because the ball had been headed against the arm of Rice in the build-up by a Blades defender.

Speaking to Sky Sports News after the game, the England midfielder said: "He has knocked the ball into my hand. If you are running with your arms like that with the rules as they are now it is handball but it is not intentional.

"I think it is the thoughts of every Premier League player, not just me - pretty much every one doesn't want to have VAR in the game.

"There have been so many decisions this season that have been absolutely crazy.

"They were celebrating VAR like it was a goal and football should not be like that."

The result marked a first defeat for the Hammers since David Moyes's return to the club as manager.
