West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek says the penalty awarded to Nottingham Forest for their winning goal was a "joke" and compared the decision to basketball.
Alphonse Areola was punished by the VAR for clattering into Morgan Gibbs-White as the goalkeeper tried to punch the ball at a free-kick.
Gibbs-White scored the spot kick which earned Forest a crucial 2-1 victory that has moved them seven points clear of West Ham, who are inside the bottom three.

Nuno: We'll keep on fighting - it's not over yet
Nuno Espirito Santo has vowed he will keep on believing that West Ham can avoid relegation.
Nottingham Forest's 2-1 win at the London Stadium on Tuesday night left West Ham seven points adrift of safety.
"I'll keep on going, keep believing, keep working with the boys to realise this is part of the game sometimes," he told Sky Sports.
"You have good moments, sometimes you have bad moments, but we have to be resilient enough to understand the situation. I'll make sure my boys believe it also."
Asked what his message to his players and fans was, Nuno said:
"Keep believing, keep sticking together. It's not over yet. We'll keep on going.
"It's hard to ask [the fans] for anything. It's hard to explain. We understand their frustration, sadness, and we are all the same.
"What can we say? Keep helping us. Today they showed when the team gives, they give back the support that we need. The boys showed we are here to keep fighting."
And on whether he expected support from the West Ham board, he said: "Of course, we have to be in this together."
