West Ham manager Sam Allardyce was unhappy with referee Michael Oliver after his side were not awarded "two blatant penalties" in their draw with Leeds United.

The Hammers boss felt his team should have had penalties in the first half for a shirt tug on James Tomkins and a challenge on Carlton Cole.

Allardyce fumed: "I dislike when majors [decision] go against me in any way shape or form and unfortunately two majors have gone against us.

"It’s a part of why we haven’t won. It’s not the ultimate part but the ultimate part was ourselves. We were in control and we should have won it.

"There is a part of the game at critical points in the first half where we should have had two blatant penalties. I have seen them from our technology at half time and full time so I’m speaking from strength.

"Nobody will convince me that they are anything but blatant penalties unfortunately. It is unfortunately very disappointing when you see the referee not do what he’s paid to do.

"In this case, because I’m speaking from strength, not obstructed by a view or a player, so there’s no doubt he’s making a judgmental decision very quickly and unfortunately on two occasions made the wrong one."
