captain Anel Ahmedhodzic has hit out at Joe Cole and for claiming West Ham should have had a penalty after he wrestled with Jarrod Bowen in Sunday's encounter.

as Oli McBurnie scored a 103rd minute penalty to rescue a draw for the Bramall Lane hosts.

The match was full of flashpoints as twice took the lead before scuppering their advantage and critics including

Ahmedhodzic and West Ham star, Bowen, came together in the box with the visiting winger ending up on the floor as a result of the altercation.

A cross into the Blades box in the final moments of the game saw Ahmedhodzic lose track of the ball and wrap both arms round Bowen with the pair falling over as a result.

Both Cole and Ferdinand were astonished that Ahmedhodzic's challenge didn't result in a penalty being awarded

West Ham players fumed for a penalty to be given but referee Michael Salisbury allowed play to continue believing that the coming together wasn't a punishable infringement.

24-year-old Ahmedhodzic fumed at Ferdinand and Cole's views on Sunday evening as he blasted the former West Ham pair for being 'clearly biased' and suggested replays showing the suspected foul has 'been edited to make it look like a penalty'.

Posting on X to his 24.4k followers, the Sheffield star stated in response to TNT's coverage of the incident: 'Clearly biased.

You can see at 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,' he added.

Both Cole and Ferdinand felt the Sheffield defender should have been punished for his challenge on Bowen and a penalty given that would likely have won the game for the visitors.

Ferdinand explained on TNT Sports: 'Penalty. He is not looking at the ball, looking at Bowen, hands on him, we can see his number and ball is coming from the opposite side.

He's not going for the ball.

Cole said: 'Absolutely a penalty. Last minute of game have to keep your composure, he realises and the panic kicks in, he puts his arms all over Bowen. Can't see how they didn't look at that. That's a rugby tackle.'

Ahmedhodzic further rubbed salt in West Ham's wounds by sharing a bizarre update on his Instagram account that appeared to mock Bowen.

He shared a picture of the incident that showed him taking the Hammers forward to the ground with WWE wrestling commentary playing alongside.

“I was so confused and insecure. Because I thought I was beautiful. So many people told me I was beautiful. Who am I? I feel like a vase shattered across the ground, and left there in the alleyway. A chandelier that was cut from the ceiling, and then all the people left the house. I can’t imagine on this day, what it would feel like to recover. Am I allowed to be this sad? Am I allowed to lay on the ground in a heap and wail? I want to have hands again, and legs. I want to smile. I want to believe that I can. But again, I want to be sad for the rest of time. I want to wear my sadness in long strands. I want to lay on the ocean floor and weep stalactites. For a hundred years. A tree has fallen onto my chest. The sky is spinning, and it won’t slow down. I don’t want to feel any of this.” A excerpt of an untitled essay from NIGHTBIRDE The NIGHTBIRDE book “Poems for the dark” should be available for presale soon. We hope Jane’s words make you all feel less alone in your human experience. Photo by Jacqueline Day #nightbirde #poetry #essay #poem #nightbird #agt #itsOk #inspire #hope #faith #cancerJourney
