West Ham 0-1 Arsenal LIVE – Arsenal secure priceless victory to move closer to Premier League title

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta: “In the end, this is the beauty of the Premier League. In all this chaos and with the keeper in your box, they managed to score.

“The referee and the VAR today had a lot of courage to stop and analyse the action and give the opportunity to the referee to make the call. I think nobody would disagree that it is a clear foul because David has the ball almost in his hands and they don’t allow him to do that and they take advantage to score the goal.”

“I didn’t pay attention to the replay just to not get more upset but there’s a referee, there’s VAR, there’s circumstances in the past that would be judged different. Let’s not say much further than that.

“Due to the recent seasons it’s been happening and even the referees don’t know what is a foul, what isn’t a foul. It creates a lot of doubt and speculation around it.”

West Ham forward Jarrod Bowen: “Football is a sport that brings enjoyment, brings fans together and gives big moments. We had our big moment then, we thought we’d got back into the game, [but you] look at something for five minutes, [you’re] trying to find something.

“Goalkeepers are protected more than outfield players – there’s lots of holding and grappling that goes on in the box. Are you going to look at those every time and give a penalty? Because that’s the only way that is the right way to do it.

“I get that you can’t wipe a goalkeeper out and there’s arms there but the keeper’s come out to try and grab the ball so he’s got to be seen – not as an outfield player – but he’s got to expect some contact. It’s a corner kick, it’s physical, it’s the Premier League – there’s going to be contact and tussles.”

“Obviously it’s a great time to score and get the win. Hopefully something nice is waiting for us.

“There’s a couple of times in the season you have those moments and maybe we can look back after the season at this.”

“David (Raya) said straight away that it has to be no goal, so I had a lot of faith, he was pretty convincing, but you never know.

“It was relief at that point (when it was ruled out) because it’s not long to go.”
