Scamacca went for the wrong corner there, should be 1-1
Tony Gale said he did exactly the right thing to go back across the keeper.
9 times out of 10 you should go across the keeper as there’s more chance of it coming back out to a teammate. There are exceptions though, I think that might be one but benefit of hindsight really. Instinct should always be across goal.
West Ham 1-1 Fulham 42: SHOT! Just as I was hailing Paqueta as the next Di Canio, he sends an awful shot over the bar and into Car Park D of the Westfield shopping centre.
Slow start to be sure but overall I think the HT result is fair, Scamacca really should have scored as he had a couple of really good chances, especially the second one.
Scamacca had his back to the player playing him on so was probably amazed that he was judged to be onside, ironically that probably resulted him in being so casual.
He is also literally the only person who knows if it was handball, for me, even if it did brush his arm, there was no benefit gained as the ball did not seem to change direction one iota, so the decision seems solid.
To deny the goal purely on suspicion would have been a travesty.
The Fulham goalkeeper signalled he thought it was handball straight away and Scamacca clearly thought it was going to be disallowed. Offside? Handball? Only he knows
I’m giving myself MOM for this one. When they scored I said to the dog “We’re still gonna win this Arch”, Just before the second goal I told him “Scamacca’s gonna score in a minute “

This must be down to Moyes.
