Arsenal earn vital win against West Ham after late leveller ruled out

Arsenal left the London Stadium with a narrow 1-0 victory after Leandro Trossard broke the deadlock in the 83rd minute. Martin Ødegaard provided the assist, with the Belgian finishing from the centre of the box into the right corner to put the visitors in front.

The Gunners were the more dominant side for much of the match, enjoying 64% possession and registering 15 shots to West Ham?s nine. They also finished with a higher expected goals figure, 1.47 to 0.89, underlining their greater attacking threat.

West Ham, however, refused to go quietly and found an equaliser deep into stoppage time through Callum Wilson. The striker scored in the 90th minute plus five with a left-footed effort from the centre of the box after a corner, setting up a dramatic finale.

Despite that late intervention, Arsenal?s winner proved decisive and Trossard?s goal ultimately settled a tightly contested Premier League clash. It was a match in which the visitors carried the clearer edge, but the hosts nearly snatched something at the death.
