Arsenal Beat West Ham Amid VAR Controversy to Move Closer to Premier League Title

Posted : 10 May 2026

Arsenal moved a step closer to the Premier League title after a dramatic and controversial 1-0 victory over West Ham United at the London Stadium on Sunday. The match was decided by Leandro Trossard’s late deflected strike, but the biggest talking point came in stoppage time when West Ham had a goal ruled out by VAR.

Mikel Arteta’s side struggled for long periods to break down a resilient West Ham defence in a tense London derby. However, Trossard eventually made the difference in the 83rd minute, finishing from close range after a well-worked move involving Martin Ødegaard and Declan Rice.

The game erupted in controversy deep into added time when Callum Wilson appeared to have scored a dramatic equaliser for West Ham. However, the goal was disallowed after a VAR review ruled that a foul had been committed on Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya during the build-up, a decision that left West Ham furious and sparked intense debate among fans and pundits.

The result extends Arsenal’s lead at the top of the table to five points over Manchester City, who remain in pursuit with a game in hand. City’s recent victory had kept pressure on the Gunners, but Arsenal now need just two more wins to secure the title.

Despite injury setbacks during the match, including the forced withdrawal of Ben White, Arsenal showed resilience to maintain their advantage. Raya also played a crucial role with key saves to keep West Ham at bay before the decisive goal.

Beyond the Premier League, Arsenal are also chasing European glory after reaching their first Champions League final since 2006, where they will face Paris Saint-Germain. A potential double would mark one of the greatest seasons in the club’s history.

The result has left Arsenal supporters believing a long-awaited league triumph is within reach, though the controversial ending ensured the victory will be heavily debated in the title race.
