VAR Rules Out West Ham’s Late Goal vs Arsenal — Premier League Explains Decision

The Premier League has clarified why West Ham’s stoppage-time equaliser against Arsenal was overturned after a VAR review. Arsenal took a late 1-0 lead through Leandro Trossard in the 83rd minute. In stoppage time, West Ham thought they had scored, but VAR official Darren England asked referee Chris Kavanagh to check if goalkeeper David Raya had been fouled. On review, Kavanagh ruled that the West Ham striker held Raya, overturning the goal for a direct free kick. West Ham remain in the relegation battle, one point behind Tottenham with an extra game to play before facing Newcastle and Leeds. Arsenal now edge closer to the title as they prepare to face Burnley and Crystal Palace.
