The season of unpunished grappling at corners decided by a punished grappling at a corner. Pablo did have his arm across Raya. It was a foul. Along with three or four other fouls in the area from both sides, including by Rice (on Mavropanis) and Trossard, also Todibo. Raya most protected species, as a goalkeeper, so that foul punished. It is the correct decision, for all the howls of anguish. Pablo stops Raya gathering the ball.

But this controversy, and the proliferation of such incidents at corners, has been caused by officials’ failure to clamp down on grappling this season. It’s a joke, and a stain on the sport, that such grappling has been allowed to grip the game. West Ham have had holding offences on their players – Bowen mentioned Soucek being held against Brentford. All teams have.

Yet officials have not intervened consistently. Arsenal themselves have got away with a few this season. But there’s no conspiracy, as claimed by some online, just inconsistency by officials.

Did Arsenal deserve victory? Just about yes. Their nerves kicked in after scoring, have to guard against that, but they showed their hunger for the title. Arteta was bold in the second half. Subbing a sub (Zubimendi) was a big call. But never play Rice, Arsenal’s driving force, at right-back again. Odegaard’s arrival definitely helped.

Nobody can question the character of these Arsenal players. Some big blocks by Lewis-Skelly and Gabriel. Raya at 0-0. Arsenal now have relegated Burnley and Palace who may have an eye on their own Euro final. West Ham resilient but needed Wilson on earlier. If they do drop into the Championship, at least West Ham won’t have VAR to worry about. #WHUARS

I think I’ve just about calmed down from that unbearably tense game. It’s not often that I say thank you VAR. 2 to go, COME ON!!

#whuars #arsenal #afc #coyg

So, was Wenger doing VAR for the West Ham v Arsenal match?

#FediFC #WHUARS

If West Ham’s equaliser gets knocked off by VAR, we know for sure there’s an agenda because Arsenal have scored countless goals this season by fouling the keeper much more than Pablo just did on Raya. Hell, many teams have conceded similar goals this season without intervention.

Oh, and there we go, PGMOL corruption lands in Arsenal’s favour yet again. Blatant and obvious thumbing the scales.

I’ve been saying Trossard is amazing for seasons He’s reached a new level lately and I’m here for it #COYG #Arsenal #WHUARS

Bukayo Saka always capable of something special but he looked drained of energy and ideas. Madueke on to try to break down this well-organised, determined West Ham defence. #WHUARS

Subbing a sub, tough for Zubimendi but had to be done. Zubimendi was a cautious choice anyway. Arteta had to make a big call and take him off. Needs one of his creators/attackers to step up now. West Ham defending well #WHUARS

Job done, looked mostly great doing it. Saka and Martin were remarkable. Onward to Wednesday! #Arsenal #COYG #WHUARS

A chaotic first half. A quieter second half.

Arsenal score five away from home for the second time this week, and move up to second in the Premier League.

#WHUARS | #WHUFC | #AFC

This is the fourth time seven goals have been scored in the first half of a Premier League match... but across those other three matches only one goal was scored in the second half 😳

Will West Ham v Arsenal deliver more than the current scoreline?

#WHUARS

West Ham United vs. Arsenal is only the fourth Premier League game to see seven goals in the first half alone, after...

Blackburn vs. Leeds (Sep 1997)

Bradford vs. Derby (Apr 2000)

Reading vs. Manchester United (Dec 2012)

Can you remember a more memorable half of football?

A wonderful free-kick from Emerson Palmieri.

West Ham United were 4-0 down — but they have halved the deficit.

34' - Martin Odegaard converts a penalty after Bukayo Saka was fouled

That was a magnificent pass from Trosaard for the Havertz goal. #Arsenal #WHUARS

So, so smooth from Arsenal.
