'Clearly biased' - Rio Ferdinand blasted for assessment of Jarrod Bowen penalty shout for West Ham against Sheffield United by alleged offender Anel Ahmedhodzic

Oli McBurnie's late penalty in the 103rd minute gave the Blades a 2-2 draw with the Hammers at Bramall Lane on Sunday, and West Ham manager David Moyes was incensed with several refereeing and video assistant rulings. Essentially, it was a potential foul on Jarrod Bowen as Ahmedhodzic and the West Ham attacker grappled inside Sheffield's box. The 24-year-old Bosnian lost sight of the ball as he wrapped two hands around the England international, which caused the pair to go down. The West Ham players immediately called for a penalty, but referee Michael Salisbury decided that there was not enough in the incident to warrant a spot-kick.

TNT Sports pundits Joe Cole and Rio Ferdinand both stated that West Ham ought to have received a penalty after the game. However, Ahmedhodzic retaliated against the two last night, calling the former West Ham academy graduates "clearly biased."

In a video shared by TNT Sports on X, the Blades captain said: "Clearly biased. You can see in the unedited footage where he pulls me down with him which makes me lose sight of the ball. Obviously, it’s been edited to make it look like a pen to West Ham."

Moyes was also left bemused when McBurnie was found to have been fouled by Alphonse Areola, even though the Hammers keeper was helped off the pitch as he sustained cuts on his nose and mouth, which allowed the Blades to equalise in the 103rd minute. For the Blades, the draw meant they breached the double-digit point-tally, becoming the last team to do so this season. West Ham, meanwhile, have fallen further behind Spurs in the battle for fifth and now sit within striking distance of Manchester United.

The goal by McBurnie was the latest on-record goal scored in the Premier League, overtaking Dirk Kuyt's penalty for Liverpool against Arsenal in April 2011 scored at 101:48 as per OptaJoe.

Next up the Blades will face off against Brighton in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday, January 27. Moyes' men will return to action after a short break against Bournemouth on February 1.
