West Ham to Contest VAR Decision Following Late Equaliser Disallowed Against Arsenal

West Ham will request clarification following the disallowance of a stoppage-time equalizer in their 1-0 loss to Arsenal.

West Ham United is preparing to formally contact the Professional Game Match Officials (PGMO) following the controversial disallowance of their stoppage-time equalizer against Arsenal.

Callum Wilson believed he had secured a late equalizer for the Hammers, but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review determined that Pablo had committed a foul on Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya during the buildup.

According to BBC Sport, West Ham intends to seek clarification from PGMO and will also request access to the audio exchange between referee Chris Kavanagh and VAR official Darren England concerning the decision.

The ruling was pivotal, as Arsenal achieved a 1-0 victory, increasing their lead at the top of the Premier League to five points ahead of Manchester City.

The outcome positions West Ham in 18th place, intensifying worries regarding their relegation struggle as the season nears its conclusion.
