Arsenal survived an almighty scare in contentious circumstance to go one step closer to the Premier League title with a 1-0 win over West Ham.
A Leandro Trossard goal in the 83rd minute proved the difference but West Ham were lets in dispair after Callum Wilson had seemingly equalised in stoppage time.

The striker’s finish was chalked off and Arsenal survived on a day where they needed David Raya to make a match-winning save from Matheus Fernandes.
The result is a massive blow for West Ham, who could have gone level with Tottenham Hotspur with one of those two sides set to be relegated at the end of the campaign.
Jeers rang out after official Chris Kavanagh chalked off the equaliser but the win puts Arsenal five clear of Manchester City with two games to go.

Roy Keane was in the Sky Sports studio but had little pity for the West Ham given how David Raya was infringed under the high ball.
West Ham? Ill-discipline really has cost them. Giving a lot of daft free kicks away.
“Even the incident at the end there. Whatever you do when you are going up, try not to give a foul away because you know it is going to be checked by VAR anyway.
“So yeah, a bad finish but they just about deserved it.”
Roy Keane weighs in on bizarre Arteta call
It was job done for Arsenal but things looked uncertain for them as they struggled to find an opening and manager Mikel Arteta opted to switch Declan Rice to fullback.
Arsenal’s star midfielder was moved to the fringes to cover for the injured Ben White, despite the presence of Christhian Mosquera – a like-for-like replacement – on the bench.
The bizarre tactical choice delayed Arsenal’s progress but Arteta would eventually rectify his error and Arsenal held on for the tightest of victories.
Jamie Redknapp was on punditry with Keane where he emphasised how that call could have been iconic for the wrong reasons had Arsenal dropped points on the day.
Keane agreed with Redknapp, admitting Arteta ‘got away with one’ when it came to his handling of Rice.
Redknapp: “If Arsenal hadn’t won today and they didn’t win the league, people would have looked at that moment when he put Declan Rice at right-back for 25 minutes and said that is one of the worst decisions you could ever see a manager make and at such an important time.
“For what was a really simple one, Mosquera for Ben White and keep Rice in the middle of the pitch but he got away with it and nobody is going to talk about it now.
“As Roy said, all the staff were around him… to get to that point it made no sense whatsoever.”
Keane: “The win covers all of that. For all the decisions right or wrong that upset some players but the win gets lads back onside who might be upset.
“I think they got away with one.”
Arsenal have Burnley at home next before travelling to face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on the final day in what could be a tricky encounter.
However, Manchester City need to be perfect when they host the Eagles, before travelling to in-form Bournemouth and hosting Euro hopefuls Aston Villa to have any chance of glory.
