John Terry was booked during Aston Villa’s 2-1 defeat at West Ham after a heated row with Hammers staff.

The Hammers survived a late scare to beat Aston Villa for their third straight victory.

Jarrod Bowen’s header helped West Ham move up to fifth with a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa, who missed a penalty and had a late goal ruled out for offiside.

The Hammers took the lead in the second minute, Angelo Ogbonna climbing highest from a Bowen corner to send a towering header into the net.

Meanwhile, the East Londoners were fuming after Jack Grealish was awarded what they believed was a soft free-kick and Dean Smith’s assistant stood up to back his man.

West Ham coach Dave Billows was also given a yellow in the aftermath as the ref came over to sort the matter after a report from the fourth official.

Dean Smith accused the Hammers bench of calling Grealish a ‘diver and a cheat’.

England man Grealish went down under what appeared to be a soft challenge from Pablo Fornals.

The Spaniard boot did brush the England man’s knee but Grealish’s international team-mate Declan Rice was incensed over the perceived play acting.

And the anger spilled over onto the benches.

Terry was seen standing in his seat shouting across at the East Londoners’ bench.

Words were exchanged between other members of staff but only the two coaches were booked.
