Arsenal secured a vital 1-0 victory over West Ham United at the London Stadium on Sunday, May 10, 2026, moving closer to clinching the Premier League title. Leandro Trossard scored the decisive goal in the 83rd minute, while VAR played a crucial role in the match's closing moments.

Late Drama and VAR Controversy

The match was marked by a dramatic finish as West Ham appeared to have equalized in stoppage time. Callum Wilson found the back of the net in the 95th minute, sending the home crowd into a frenzy. However, VAR intervened, ruling the goal out due to a foul on Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya by West Ham's Pablo. Referee Chris Kavanagh was called to review the incident on the monitor, which took a total of 4 minutes and 17 seconds from the moment the ball crossed the line to the final decision.

Key Moments of the Match

Before the disallowed goal, Trossard's late strike had put Arsenal in a strong position, following a crucial save by Raya that denied Matheus Fernandes earlier in the match. The victory keeps Arsenal firmly in the title race, maintaining their lead at the top of the Premier League table.

With the win, Arsenal's lead remains intact, but had Wilson's goal been allowed, it would have narrowed the gap to just three points, putting pressure on the Gunners as Manchester City awaited their chance to reclaim the top spot with a game in hand. The match drew an attendance of 60,429 fans, who witnessed a thrilling encounter filled with late drama.
