Graham Potter did not feel his West Ham United team did enough to beat Newcastle United on Monday evening.
But, at the same time, he felt Maximilian Kilman was fouled by Alexander Isak as Harvey Barnes’ cross floated over his head and was converted by Bruno Guimarães for the only goal of a tight game at London Stadium.
‘’I thought it was a really committed performance from the players, they gave everything, which is good to see.
We're disappointed to lose, of course we are, because we had ambition to win. I thought we started the game well, had a couple of opportunities, they came into it and drove us back more than we'd like.
We struggled to really impose ourselves on the game for periods but then we showed character to stick in it and we had our moments again and it ebbed and flowed a little bit.
I think the goal was just disappointing because we feel there was a push on Max and obviously the first goal in that type of game is really important.
Overall I think we didn’t do enough to win the game but I feel for the players, as I thought they deserved something from the game.’’
I'm surprised the VAR didn't look at [the build-up to their goal] and I'm surprised the VAR didn't ask the referee to look at it.
