Arsenal FC kept their Premier League title hopes alive after securing a narrow 1-0 victory over West Ham United in a match filled with late VAR drama at London Stadium.
The contest was difficult for both sides, with Arsenal desperately needing victory to maintain pressure in the title race. The only goal of the game was scored by Leandro Trossard in the 83rd minute after receiving a fine pass from Martin Odegaard.
The closing moments of the match became the center of attention after West Ham believed they had equalized through Callum Wilson in stoppage time. However, following a lengthy VAR review, referee Chris Kavanagh disallowed the goal due to a foul on Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya during the build-up from a corner kick.
The decision has sparked major debate in England, with some analysts describing it as one of the most significant VAR calls in this season’s Premier League title race.
With the victory, Arsenal remain at the top of the league standings and continue to boost hopes of winning their first Premier League title since 2004.
Arsenal now have 79 points with two matches remaining, while Manchester City sit on 74 points with three games still in hand.
