Summary

Huge controversy at the London Stadium as Arsenal snatch a massive three points away to West Ham. The Hammers thought they had rescued a dramatic injury-time equaliser, only for VAR to rule it out after a lengthy review. Was it the correct decision, and could VAR ultimately decide the Premier League title race? Meanwhile, Manchester City kept the pressure on with a win over Brentford to remain five points behind with a game in hand. But has that costly draw against Everton F.C. already sealed their fate? Elsewhere, Gary, Alan & Micah discuss AFC Bournemouth’s incredible rise towards Champions League football and debate whether Andoni Iraola is making the right decision by leaving at the end of the season.
