Sofiane Feghouli thought he'd equalised in the first half of West Ham's 2-2 draw with West Brom - but was puzzled to see the linesman's flag up.

With the visitors one goal up, Feghouli had the ball in the net in the 19th minute, but it was ruled out by referee Michael Oliver, sparking scenes of much anger at London Stadium.

Feghouli then had the ball in the net, flicking in after Winston Reid had scuffed an effort at goal, but he was denied. Craig Dawson was down in the six-yard box, playing Feghouli on, hence the confusion. Michail Antonio did appear to be just offside, but the linesman appeared to raise his flag after that.

Slaven Bilic's assistant Nikola Jurcevic raced down the touchline to confront the referee's assistant and earned himself a dismissal to the stands in the aftermath.

The Hammers thought they'd won it after goals from Feghouli and Manuel Lanzini turn the match on its head, but they were pegged back in stoppage-time.
