Premier League | Leandro Trossard's late goal against West Ham United helps Arsenal edge close to title

Arsenal edged West Ham United 1-0 to help them close to a first Premier League title in 22 years with Leandro Tossard scoring a late goal in an away game on Sunday (May 10).

The Belgian netted the all-important winner in the 83rd minute in an away-game which left the spectators at the edge of their seats at the London Stadium.

The visitors were living dangerously, but Trossard guided home a low shot from Martin Odegaard's pass to spark delirium amongst the Arsenal ‌fans and despair in the home ranks.

Callum Wilson’s stoppage-time goal for the Hammers was ruled off side after an agonising VAR check.

If Arsenal do go on ​to lift the title, the incident in stoppage time will be ​just a detail in a season-long slog with Manchester City.

The nervy win put the Gunners a step closer to a first Premier League title since 2004 and 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 have 79 points from 36 games with Manchester City, who have a game in hand, on 74.

For West Ham it was a bitter pill to swallow as defeat left them staring at relegation and they could find themselves four points from the safety zone with two games left if Tottenham Hotspur beat Leeds United on Monday.

On the other hand, Arsenal are in line for a double as they have also entered the final of the UEFA Champions League, where they will take on defending champions Paris Saint-Germain in the final on May 30 at Budapest.

It is worth mentioning that Arsenal are entering the final of the premier European club football competition for the first time in two decades.

Last year, they had lost out to the Qatar-owned Ligue 1 giants in the semifinals.
