Arsenal F.C. edged closer to securing the Premier League championship after Leandro Trossard netted a late goal in a closely contested match against West Ham United F.C. at the London Stadium, increasing the pressure on the Hammers in their fight against relegation.
For much of the game, Arsenal struggled to penetrate the home team’s defense, even though Trossard struck the crossbar two times in rapid succession during the first half. Nonetheless, with just seven minutes left on the clock, the Belgian striker finally broke the deadlock when his shot deflected off Tomáš Souček and eluded the goalkeeper.
The turning point occurred soon after when Arsenal’s goalkeeper, David Raya, made a crucial save to keep Mateus Fernandes from scoring from close range. This win pushed Arsenal five points ahead of Manchester City F.C., though City still has to play another match.
West Ham thought they had snatched a dramatic equalizer late in stoppage time from Callum Wilson, but the goal was ultimately disallowed after a lengthy VAR check for a foul on Raya, leading to frustration among the home supporters.
This outcome was a significant morale boost for Arsenal, while West Ham’s predicament became increasingly dire. The Hammers find themselves in the relegation zone, sitting one point behind Tottenham Hotspur F.C. despite having played one additional game.
Arsenal dominated the initial phases of the match, but their flow was interrupted when manager Mikel Arteta made the surprising decision to move Declan Rice to right-back after Ben White was injured.
Rice returned to his midfield role after halftime, but West Ham became more competitive as the game progressed. Raya had to make another critical save after already stopping Taty Castellanos earlier in the match.
Eventually, Trossard made the crucial contribution before Wilson’s late attempt was ruled out, leaving Arsenal — who have already secured a spot in the UEFA Champions League Final — just a step away from winning their first league title in 22 years.
