Arsenal took another step towards winning the English Premier League title thanks to Leandro Trossard’s goal in the last minutes and with a little luck in stoppage time, achieving a valuable 1-0 victory over relegation-threatened West Ham United on Sunday, expanding the gap separating it from its closest rivals to five points.

It seemed that Mikel Arteta’s team would waste two points and keep the door open for Manchester City, which is pursuing it, but Trossard’s goal in the 83rd minute means that it will win the title for the first time since 2004 if it wins over Burnley and Crystal Palace.

Arsenal was not at its best and went through moments of extreme tension, one of which was in stoppage time, when West Ham player Callum Wilson shot the ball into the goal after a struggle in front of the goal, but the referee canceled the goal due to a foul on Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya after a long review of the video assistant referee technology.

Arsenal qualified for the Champions League final for the first time since 2006 by defeating Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.
By defeating West Ham, Arsenal raised its score to 79 points from 36 matches, while Manchester City remains at 74 points from 35 matches.

On the other hand, West Ham ranks 18th with 36 points from 36 matches, and Leeds and Nottingham Forest are safe from relegation thanks to this loss to Arsenal.
