Allardyce fumes at 'offside' opener

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce was “baffled” by the decision which handed Everton their opening goal in the 2-1 win at Goodison Park.

Even a post-match explanation from referee Mark Clattenburg as to why Romelu Lukaku’s strike was allowed to stand despite him being offside immediately before Ross Barkley’s shot rebounded to him failed to appease the Hammers boss and he will be taking up the matter with officials’ chief Mike Riley next week.
