We had to stay in it and we had to win the game," he admitted."In the end we got it done. The save from David Raya is the save that wins it for us [the title]."Even with the foul, we have seen it now, he has got his arms across him and he is impeding him. It was a like a blessing!"Meanwhile, West Ham star Jarrod Bowen has vented his fury at the decision to deny his side a crucial leveller."Yeah [hard done by]. There is a lot of ways I could go about answering this question," he said when asked how he felt."Because we are on the receiving end, we will feel hard done by. Football is a sport that brings enjoyment and brings big moments. We had our big moment and thought we got back in the game."Look at something for five minutes, trying to find something."Goalkeepers are protected more than outfield players and there is a lot of holding inside the box. Are you going to look at those every time and give a penalty? That is the only way that is the right way to do it."You can't wipe a goalkeeper out but the keeper has come in to grab the ball and has to expect contact. It's the Premier League; there is going to be contact. "We had one at Brentford last week when Tomas Soucek got pulled at the back post and did not get a penalty. I just think, like I said, if you look at something long enough, you will find something to give."I can guarantee that pundits and people watching know football is a physical game. If you're going to give it, give it every week. Where is the line and where is the bar?"On his side's relegation battle, he added: "We have lost the game but we kept in their and were really in the game. Regardless of the decision, we have lost the game and it is a point we have lost. It is do or die. We can't be defeated, this cannot be it. We keep going."Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
