News Summary

• Arsenal's 1-0 win over West Ham does not end the Premier League title race.
• But it materially strengthens Arsenal's position heading into the next stretch of matches.
• Because the finish included a VAR overturn of what West Ham believed was a late equaliser, Arsenal were able to convert the victory into a “full three points” The fact that the result was secured after VAR scrutiny also means Arsenal’s margin came from a verified outcome rather than a fortunate bounce, which can matter for how the remainder of the season is perceived.
