Wow, added time, the Hammers score a great equalizer but... it's chalked off.
A combination of the new handball law for 2019-20 and a review VAR - correctly by the LotG - disallow the goal due to handball by Rice. He could do nothing about it, unexpected ball, but it his hand before he controlled it and provided the assist.
Correct decision. Correct use of the protocol etc.
However, for me, no one in the stadium or on TV is expecting a review and the handball law is too extreme - unexpected ball should override other considerations IMHO.
Massive for West Ham and their new manager...
