Arsenal cleared the most dangerous remaining obstacle in their path to the Premier League title by the skin of their teeth on Sunday. Leandro Trossard's 83rd-minute goal secured a dramatic 1-0 win at West Ham United, restoring their five-point lead at the top of the table.
The visitors were living dangerously at the London Stadium. But Trossard guided home a low shot from Martin Odegaard's pass, sparking delirium among the Arsenal fans and despair in the home ranks.
The Gunners survived a huge scare deep in stoppage time. West Ham substitute Callum Wilson had an equalizer ruled out for a foul after a long VAR review.
Victory puts Arsenal a step closer to a first Premier League title since 2004. They will be crowned champions if they win their last two games: at home to Burnley and away to Crystal Palace on the final day.
Arsenal has 79 points from 36 games. Manchester City, with a game in hand, sits second with 74.
For West Ham, the defeat leaves them staring at relegation. They could find themselves four points from safety with two games remaining if Tottenham beats Leeds on Monday.
