VAR had its biggest moment in Premier League history as Arsenal held on to beat West Ham 1-0 thanks to Callum Wilson’s 95th-minute equaliser being ruled out for a foul on David Raya.<\/p>\n

Leandro Trossard’s late winner set the Gunners on course for a crucial win, but with time nearly up Wilson fired home from a corner to send the London Stadium into a frenzy.<\/p>\n

However, the VAR spotted the arm of West Ham’s Pablo across Raya’s neck as the Arsenal goalkeeper fumbled the initial delivery into the box. Referee Chris Kavanagh was sent to the monitor and disallowed the goal.<\/p>\n

Had it stood, Wilson’s goal would have cut Arsenal’s lead at the top to three points – and Manchester City could have returned to the top of the table with a win in their game in hand over Crystal Palace on Wednesday, live on Sky Sports.<\/p>\n

But instead, Arsenal’s lead is at five points – and with relegated Burnley at home and a final day visit to Crystal Palace remaining this season – they have taken a big step to a first Premier League title in 22 years.<\/p>\n
