What happened
Mikel Arteta credited David Raya after Arsenal's 1-0 win at West Ham, saying the goalkeeper 'won us the game today.' Raya made key saves and was central again in stoppage time when West Ham's late equalizer was ruled out after a VAR review for a foul on him, preserving Leandro Trossard's winner.
Why it matters
The result keeps Arsenal in control of the Premier League title race and restores a five-point lead at the top after Manchester City's win on Saturday. It also reinforces the importance of David Raya's Golden Glove form at the sharp end of the season, while West Ham lose a vital point in the survival fight.
The data edge
Arsenal beat West Ham 1-0 at London Stadium. Trossard scored in the 83rd minute. West Ham had a stoppage-time equalizer wiped out after VAR reviewed a foul on Raya. Raya's clean sheet takes him to 18 for the 2025/26 Premier League season, and league-trending context says that total cannot now be matched. No recent betting line movement data was available in this signal pack.
What to watch
Watch whether Arsenal can finish the job in their final two league matches and whether Arteta provides more detail on the late VAR decision. West Ham's response in the next round will matter in the relegation battle.
