Gary Neville has called the decision to disallow West Ham’s 95th-minute equaliser in a 1-0 defeat to Premier League title hopefuls Arsenal the ‘biggest moment in VAR history’. <\/p>\n
Arsenal were leading 1-0 when Callum Wilson struck a last-gasp leveller, the ball clearly crossing the line despite Declan Rice’s best efforts to keep it out. Referee Chris Kavanagh awarded the goal on field.<\/p>\n
But the strike did not survive a lengthy VAR process. Kavanagh was sent to the pitchside monitor to review the incident by VAR official Darren England and after 17 replays, totalling four minutes and 17 seconds worth of stoppage, eventually ruled that there had been a foul by Pablo on David Raya.<\/p>\n
