Arsenal F.C. moved closer to the Premier League title after a controversial 1-0 victory over West Ham United F.C. on Sunday, with a stoppage-time equaliser from Callum Wilson ruled out after a lengthy VAR review.
Leandro Trossard scored the decisive goal in the 83rd minute at the London Stadium after his strike took a heavy deflection past West Ham goalkeeper Mads Hermansen.
However, the biggest talking point came deep into stoppage time when Wilson bundled the ball into the net after David Raya fumbled under pressure from Pablo.
Referee Chris Kavanagh, following a prolonged VAR check, disallowed the goal for a foul on Raya, sparking furious protests from West Ham players and supporters, who argued the contact was minimal and also claimed fouls by Declan Rice and Trossard during the incident.
