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 on Sunday.

Pep Guardiola’s rallying cry of “come on you Irons” on Saturday seemed to do the trick after West Ham striker Callum Wilson’s stoppage-time goal almost did Manchester City a huge favor.

But after an agonizing VAR check, the equalizer was ruled out for a foul on West Ham forward Pablo, who grabbed Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya during the play.

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.

Despite winning on their last two visits to the London Stadium by an aggregate score of 11-2, this looked like, and may well prove to be, Arsenal’s trickiest assignment of the three remaining.

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.

For West Ham, the contrast could not be starker. The celebration police will not be required in east London this season.

Needing a win to climb out of the relegation zone, they will instead find themselves four points adrift of Tottenham — who will be uncharacteristically revelling in an Arsenal victory — with two matches left, if the north Londoners beat Leeds on Monday night.
