Arsenal v West Ham Disallowed Goal: Referee Made Right Decision - Howard Webb
Howard Webb said the officials correctly applied VAR after a 95th-minute equaliser was ruled out for impeding David Raya.
- On Sunday, West Ham suffered a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal after Callum Wilson's 95th-minute equalizer was disallowed by VAR, leaving the club facing its first relegation since 2011.
- Mounting losses of £104m for 2024-25 under owner David Sullivan have left The Hammers stranded in the relegation zone with two games remaining this season.
- PGMOL chief Howard Webb defended the decision, explaining that Pablo's interference with David Raya was a "clear and obvious offence" preventing the goalkeeper from catching the ball.
- Gary Neville called the disallowed goal the "biggest moment in VAR history in the Premier League," fueling resignation among West Ham fans already frustrated by ownership and performance.
- With player sales deemed essential to maintain liquidity, the club faces a difficult summer, while Webb confirmed the PGMOL is considering new rules to combat wrestling in the box.
