Mikel Arteta has applauded referee Chris Kavanagh and the VAR team for overturning Callum Wilson’s stoppage-time strike in Arsenal’s 1-0 victory over West Ham. After a pitch-side review, officials confirmed a clear foul by Pablo on David Raya and disallowed the goal. Arteta highlighted the courage it took to pause play and consult the monitor. “They showed bravery and gave the referee the opportunity to look at the action,” he said. “When you see the picture, there is no question it was a clear foul.” The ruling keeps Arsenal firmly in control of the Premier League title race as they move closer to ending their 22-year wait for the trophy.
