West Ham remain organised in defence for the most part of the game, until Arsenal broke the deadlock in the 83rd minute of the cagey tie.

Leondro Trossard scored a brilliant low shot off Martin Odegaard’s pass to send the Arsenal fans into frenzy.

Mikel Arteta’s men had a scare in stoppage time when Callum Wilson equalised for West Ham but his goal was ruled out for a foul after a long VAR review.

The win takes Arsenal a step closer to their first Premier League title since 2004, and they will be crowned champions if they win their next two games against Burnley and Crystal Palace.

Arsenal tops the table with 79 points from 36 game while Manchester City follows closely with 74 points but with a game in hand.
