(AP) - stayed in control of the English Premier League title race by beating relegation-threatened West Ham 1-0 thanks to an 83rd-minute goal by Leandro Trossard and a dramatic late VAR call on Sunday.
By restoring its five-point lead over second-place Manchester City, Arsenal knows it will clinch its first league title since 2004 by winning its final two games — at home to Burnley and away to Crystal Palace.
It was looking like Arsenal would drop two points — just like City did at Everton on Monday — before Martin Odegaard dribbled into West Ham’s area and laid the ball off to Trossard. The Belgium international’s first-time shot took a couple of slight deflections and found the bottom corner, sparking wild celebrations among Arsenal’s players and coaching staff.
