Arsenal took a massive step toward Premier League glory with a hard-fought win at West Ham—but it was anything but smooth sailing. The Gunners' fans erupted in relief, not just joy, after a dramatic stoppage-time goal from the Hammers was disallowed for a foul on goalkeeper David Raya during a corner scramble. That single call didn't just decide the match; it could shape the title race and push West Ham closer to relegation.

The real celebrations came earlier when Leandro Trossard netted the winner, but this was a victory forged in grit. Arsenal dominated the opening minutes, looking poised to cruise, but manager Mikel Arteta's puzzling halftime switch—moving Declan Rice to right-back to cover for the injured Ben White—stalled their momentum. It was a gamble that didn't pay off, and the Gunners had to dig deep.

Once again, Raya proved the hero, pulling off two spectacular saves from Valentin Castellanos and Mateus Fernandes to secure the three points. The win capped a stellar week for Arteta's side, who also booked their spot in the Champions League final against Paris St-Germain on May 30. For Arsenal fans, the title dream is alive—but the nerves are far from over.
