'We prepped other things' - David Moyes says West Ham didn't target set-pieces for Leeds United clash, lauds Illan Meslier, hammers VAR

The Hammers moved into fifth place in the Premier League with their victory, Tomas Soucek and Angelo Ogbonna heading home from a corner and a free-kick respectively.

Dead ball deliveries formed a major part of the pre-game discussion at the Leeds end following last week's defeat at Chelsea which featured another goal conceded from a corner.

But Moyes insisted it wasn't an area he sought to target at Elland Road.

"No, we didn't, we didn't even do any more practise, in fact we did none, we prepped other things," he said.

"But we have good delivery, some players who are good in the air. Big part of football, scoring from set-pieces and not conceding. There was another couple we probably should have scored from."

Moyes gave a huge amount of credit to Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier who made a number of important stops to keep Leeds in the game right to the end.

"I thought we played well at times, I thought Leeds did as well," he said.

"We're all expecting it from Leeds now, to get forward and create chances.

"I thought their goalkeeper was outstanding, some of his saves, he kept them in the game. We had good chances to probably get ourselves further in front and we didnt take them."

Leeds struggled to break the Hammers down but did conjure up a late chance to level, Rodrigo ghosting into the area to get his head on a cross only to glance the ball into the hands of Lukasz Fabianski.

While it wasn't enough to secure a win tonight, Leeds' brand of football is something Moyes says is unique in the Premier League and something he admires.

"Leeds are going to cause teams lots of problems because of the way they play," he said.

"This game is different to probably any other you play in the Premier League. They've got something different. Parts of the game we controlled, parts we didn't but we didn't give in, we were resilient.

"Bielsa is an incredible manager, has had an incredible career but more importantly has a style that has been broken down into bits and picked up for other coaches as well. He's had a long and very good career."

Leeds took the lead early on through a penalty, the awarding of which caused Moyes no issue. But when Mateusz Klich's initial effort was saved by Fabianski, the game was allowed to continue before VAR decided the goalkeeper had moved off his line. Klich put the retake in the net and Moyes was still angry after the win.

"I thought it was a definite penalty but I think the decision [for the retake] was terrible," he said.

"I'm still angry about it that this is the way football's gone, a game we've all watched and played. If they thought there was a doubt about it, they let the game start for about another 15 seconds. I can't understand what they're doing, it's disappointing."
