Mikel Arteta’s relief as ‘brave’ VAR decision takes Arsenal closer to title
The Story So Far
West Ham United fell to a 1-0 home defeat against Arsenal in a contest marked by late tension and a pivotal VAR ruling. Following a quiet first eighty minutes, Leandro Trossard scored the decisive goal for the visitors. West Ham had nearly led moments earlier, but a strike from Mateus Fernandes was denied by a crucial save. The match ended in controversy during added time when substitute Callum Wilson appeared to have equalized from a corner. However, after a prolonged video review featuring seventeen replays, the goal was disallowed. This decision preserved the result for the away side, significantly affecting the Premier League title race.
