Wolves vs West Ham ref watch: Three decisions Peter Bankes got wrong

Wolves sealed a long-awaited first win of the Premier League season with a 3-0 victory over fellow strugglers West Ham at Molineux.

Wolves burst out of the blocks to take the lead in the fourth minute as Jhon Arias turned home Hwang Hee-chan‘s cross.

Hwang doubled their advantage from the penalty spot just after the half-hour mark, following Soungoutou Magassa’s foul on Mateus Mane.

Then it was Mane who sent the Molineux faithful into dreamland as he made it 3-0 with a fine finish just before the break, and that was how it ended as Wolves picked up a huge three points against West Ham.

Peter Bankes was the man in the middle of this tussle, and Football Insider have picked out three decisions that he did not get right

Crysencio Summerville should have been booked for foul on Jackson Tchatchoua

Summerville has been blasted by West Ham fans for his poor performances this season, and this was another of those as he failed to make any impact in the final third.

The 24-year-old should have, in fact, been shown a yellow card in the 55th minute after he was adjudged to have tripped Wolves defender Tchatchoua in a dangerous area for the hosts.

Referee Bankes did blow for a free kick to Wolves, but somehow failed to put Summerville into his book, despite it being his second foul of that type in the game.

Ladislav Krejci was wrongly penalised after Jarrod Bowen challenge

Krejci joined Wolves in the summer, and he has been a standout among their struggling squad this season after some spirited performances under Vitor Pereira and Rob Edwards.

The Czech Republic star was key to their win over the Hammers on Saturday, and will have felt hard done by to see a free-kick decision go against him in the 71st minute for an apparent foul on Bowen.

West Ham’s talisman went down theatrically clutching his knee after Krejci was seen to have brought him down from behind, but replays showed there was very little contact, and Bankes should simply have played on.

West Ham were wrongly awarded a corner as they chased a goal

Summerville struggled, but did look like the Hammers’ only threat as time went on and they became increasingly desperate to score.

His foray down the left flank saw him earn a corner, as given by Bankes, in the 81st minute, even though the ball clearly came off the Dutchman and went out of play.

Yerson Mosquera pleaded his case after Bankes thought he was the one who had put it out, but his frustrations were ignored, and the corner came to nothing anyway as Jose Sa punched away from danger.
