Arsenal snatch dramatic win as VAR breaks West Ham hearts in stoppage time
Arsenal snatched a 1-0 win at West Ham United. The win came after a late VAR scare against West Ham.
Leandro Trossard scored in the 83rd-minute. West Ham sub Callum Wilson thought he had scored the equaliser after firing into the net from a loose ball in a packed box following a corner. VAR intervened after referee Chris Kavanagh initially gave the goal. Kavanagh agreed with the assertion that Wilson's fellow sub Pablo had been impeding Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya from reaching the ball. Raya also made a point-blank save from Mateus Fernandes seconds before Trossard scored. Trossard's header also hit the bar in the first half. West Ham remain 18th in the table, a point behind Tottenham.
Arsenal are five points clear of Manchester City. They will lift the title if they defeat relegated Burnley at home next Monday and win at Crystal Palace on the final day of the season in a fortnight. Tottenham host Leeds United on Monday night.
Quick Summary
Arsenal faced West Ham in a Premier League match that had fans on the edge of their seats. A late VAR decision and a dramatic goal added to the tension- but the game's significance extends beyond just one match.
