A major controversy erupted late in the Premier League clash between Arsenal FC and West Ham United FC when the Hammers had a goal ruled out, prompting them to seek a full explanation.
Details: According to Sami Mokbel of BBC Sport, West Ham are set to request the VAR audio from the incident. The club is expected to contact Professional Game Match Officials Limited for clarification over why Callum Wilson’s strike was disallowed.
West Ham found the net following a corner, but immediately after the incident, Arsenal’s players furiously appealed for a foul on goalkeeper David Raya. From the North London side’s perspective, Pablo Fornals had committed an infringement while challenging the Spanish shot-stopper.
The decision ultimately preserved Arsenal’s 1–0 victory and could prove decisive in the Premier League title race.
