EPL 2026, Premier League results, table: Arsenal defeat West Ham as VAR controversially rules out late equaliser, highlights
"They showed a lot of courage and bravery to stand out and give the opportunity to the referee to have a look at the action. When you see the picture, there is no question that it is a clear foul. They were very brave. The action deserved that."
"Leandro Trossard's 83rd minute goal re-established the Gunners' five-point lead over Manchester City. But West Ham had an equaliser deep into stoppage time ruled out after a VAR review for a foul on goalkeeper David Raya before Callum Wilson fired home."
"Arsenal also did north London rivals Tottenham a favour in the battle to beat the drop as they can move four points clear of West Ham with victory over Leeds on Monday. West Ham's defeat means Crystal Palace, Leeds and Nottingham Forest are all now mathematically safe."
"Fresh from sealing their place in the Champions League final with victory over Atletico Madrid in midweek, Arteta's men burst out of the blocks. Mads Hermansen made a brilliant save to deny Trossard from a corner before the Belgian's follow-up header came back off the crossbar."
Arsenal secured a 1-0 win over West Ham with Leandro Trossard scoring in the 83rd minute, restoring a five-point lead over Manchester City. West Ham had a late equaliser ruled out after a VAR review for a foul on goalkeeper David Raya before Callum Wilson’s shot. Arsenal’s manager praised the decision-making process and the courage shown in allowing the referee to review the incident. Aston Villa drew 2-2 at Burnley. Arsenal’s win also affected relegation and safety outcomes, with Tottenham’s position improved and West Ham’s loss helping confirm Crystal Palace, Leeds, and Nottingham Forest as mathematically safe. Arsenal’s remaining results could end their long wait for the title.
