Gianfranco Zola feels West Ham were robbed of a penalty in their 2-0 defeat to Spurs at Upton Park.
The visitors were leading courtesy of Ledley King's header when Benoit Assou-Ekotto appeared the handle the ball in Spurs' penalty area.
However, referee Chris Foy failed to point to the spot and Harry Redknapp's side padded their lead thanks to Jamie O'Hara's late effort.
"It was a clear penalty when it was 1-0," stated Hammers boss Zola.
"The referee is a human being, he can make mistakes. Unfortunately for us it was a disappointing game because it was one we all wanted to win."
The result leaves West Ham just three points above the drop zone and Zola understands the fans' frustration.
"I understand the fans' frustration. We gave everything today to make them happy," he continued.
"It is not as easy situation for us, we know that. We will be working even harder than we have been. We won't panic."
