West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has expressed his frustration with his side's 3-2 defeat at home to Everton in the Premier League.

The Hammers boss disputed Mark Noble's second-half sending-off and said that he was expecting his team to hold out for the win with the score at 2-1.

"It is always easy to look at the situation on my laptop afterwards and say Mark played the ball first," he told BBC Sport.

"Unfortunately for us, the referee didn't see it that way and, to make things worse, Leighton Baines has then fired an unstoppable free kick right into the top corner.

"With our defensive ability, I thought we would see it out at 2-1 but it is really frustrating for us that, not only was Mark sent off but we were punished again by them putting ball in the net straight after we went ahead."

A late goal from substitute Romelu Lukaku on his Everton debut secured maximum points for the Blues.
