Arsenal took a giant step towards the Premier League title with a dramatic 1-0 win at West Ham. Leandro Trossard scored a late winner, but the real drama came in stoppage time when Callum Wilson thought he had equalised for the hosts. Following an agonisingly lengthy VAR review, the goal was ruled out for a foul on Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya, a West Ham player was deemed to be impeding him by holding his arm. The result means Arsenal remain five points clear with two games remaining, while West Ham remain in relegation trouble.
Key Points:
- Arsenal's five-point lead with two games left puts them firmly in control of the title race.
- Trossard ending his goal drought at the perfect moment could be the turning point in Arsenal's season.
- The controversial VAR decision will fuel debate about refereeing standards in title-deciding matches.
- West Ham's survival hopes suffered a massive blow after having a stoppage-time equaliser snatched away.
- The timing of the win, after Manchester City's victory over Brentford, keeps the pressure on both title contenders.
