The Premier League Matchweek 36 encounter between West Ham and Arsenal reached a dramatic conclusion as hosts West Ham scored late in stoppage time, only to have the goal disallowed following a VAR review.
Immediately following the incident, Arsenal players vocally contested the decision, arguing that West Ham’s Pablo had infringed upon goalkeeper David Raya during the play.
The referee, prompted by VAR, proceeded to the pitchside monitor to evaluate the situation. After several tense minutes of deliberation, he ruled in favor of Arsenal, disallowing the goal on the grounds of a foul on Raya.
This crucial decision ultimately secured Arsenal’s 1-0 victory, a result that may have significant implications in the ongoing Premier League title race.
