Hughes Upset With Officials

Christopher Samba had opened his goalscoring account for ten-man Blackburn early in the second half, but a dubious Carlos Tevez penalty and substitute Bobby Zamora's close-range strike, which appeared to bounce back off Tevez on the Rovers goal-line, handed the Hammers an unlikely win at Ewood Park.

"The assistant referee got key decisions wrong and we paid the penalty," Hughes said after the game.

"The penalty came from a theatrical dive and there was little contact. The second goal was cleared off the line - it was a comedy of errors by officials.

"The assistant is human, but he has made key errors. It's a crazy situation."
