"Leandro Trossard's goal against West Ham sent the Arsenal away end into delirium in the 83rd minute at the London Stadium on Sunday, and with it, the title race took its latest twist. The gap is now five points with just two games remaining, and Manchester City are left staring at a mountain they may no longer have the legs to climb. Arsenal are on the edge of history. Their 1-0 win - sealed in the most nerve-shredding circumstances - restored the precious gap over City at the top of the Premier League with two games remaining for the Gunners and three for their rivals."
""What a moment, what an afternoon, what a week it's been for us, so full of emotions," said Mikel Arteta after the final whistle. "I cannot praise enough the attitude, the desire, the courage and the quality of the team shown throughout this week because there was so much at stake. I think we started the game so well, we created three big chances to go in front and we didn't manage to do that, so we have to keep our heads cool.""
"Sunday was not comfortable. Ben White limped off early, forcing a reshuffle that invited West Ham into the contest. Trossard hit the bar twice from the same corner. The game ebbed and flowed, and then, six minutes into stoppage time, Callum Wilson bundled the ball over the line, and West Ham's support erupted. It lasted 90 seconds. VAR flagged that Pablo had his arm across David Raya's as the ball came in. Referee Chris Kavanagh reviewed the monitor and disallowed the goal. The Arsenal end went from silence to ecstasy."
""When I had to be critical, I have been. Today I have to congratulate them", Arteta added. "You needed a lot of courage and bravery to stand out and give the opportunity to the referee to have a look at the action. Whe""
