Arsenal survived a huge scare after Leandro Trossard’s goal kept the Premier League title race firmly in their hands in a tense 1-0 win at West Ham. Pep Guardiola’s rallying cry of ‘come on you Irons’ on Saturday seemed set to do the trick after Callum Wilson’s stoppage-time effort almost did Manchester City a huge favour.
But after an agonising VAR check the apparent equaliser was ruled out for a foul on Gunners goalkeeper David Raya. Trossard had struck eight minutes from full-time to keep Arsenal five points clear of their rivals and on the brink of a first title in 22 years.
Now, all that stands between them and the title is a visit from relegated Burnley and a trip to a Crystal Palace side who will be focused on their Conference League final date with Rayo Vallecano three days later.

The Arsenal analysts are on their feet in the press box.
It had been a better couple of minutes for Arsenal with Odegaard getting a grip on the match and he's made the difference.
Played back to Trossard and he finds the bottom corner, with the help of a deflection. Goals don't get much bigger than that.
