The video assistant referee should have intervened to give West Ham a spot-kick at Wolves, the Premier League's Key Match Incidents Panel has said.
West Ham had already conceded three times in their 3-0 defeat at Molineux when they won a corner in the 73rd minute.
As the ball came over, Tomas Soucek went to ground under a challenge from Ladislav Krejci.
Referee Peter Bankes allowed play to continue. It was checked by the VAR, Tim Wood, who felt there was mutual holding by the two players.
The KMI Panel has voted 4-1 that a penalty should have been awarded by the referee and 3-2 that a VAR intervention was missed.
The panel felt that the Krejci had committed "an extreme non-footballing action which had impact, without looking at the ball".
The KMI Panel supported the 29th-minute penalty Wolves were given for Soungoutou Magassa's challenge on Mateus Mane.
The two players challenged for a bouncing ball at the same time with Mane just getting there first.
Bankes' decision was supported on a split 3-2 vote, with the panel unanimous that the VAR was right not to intervene.
