For a reason it is the best League in the world. A final at the height of the competition. Drama, nerves and, of course, the OUR. And Trossard’s goal in the final and another disallowed for Wilson in stoppage time They leave the Premier almost sentenced. It wasn’t Arsenal’s day and, still, they pulled it off. Arteta celebrates that every time the curse is closer to breaking.
He Arsenal’s start was electric. Calafiori came close to scoring on several occasions, but Hermansen, Mavropanos and wood They avoided the first of the ‘gunners’. The only goal that Arteta’s team was missing was because the intensity was ideal for a match like this. But the Ben White injury upset Mikel’s plans.
The full-back left injured after half an hour of play and came on in his place Zubimendiwho started on the bench for the third consecutive game. Rice moved to right back and Arsenal began to lose control of the match. He stopped reaching the ‘irons’ goal and Raya had to save a headbutt from Taty Castellanos on the edge of rest.

Arsenal couldn’t either in the second half, in which Arteta’s team came out much worse. Very thick and much easier to defend for West Ham, who looked comfortable at the back.
The visiting team looked very overwhelmed, without ideas and with the only plan of putting balls ‘in the pot’. Centers that took out West Ham’s ‘towers’ without problems. And of course, with time running out, Arteta burned the ships and allowed the ‘hammers’ to create danger for the contras. In one of them, Mateus Fernandes had the victory. A one-on-one that took out the best goalkeeper in the Premier with a miraculous foot. Raya He didn’t score, but as if he had. Save goal value which Trossard would later confirm to the delirium of the Gunners present at the London Stadium.
Perfect wall inside the area and, who else, Martin Odegaard served a perfect back ball for Leandro Trossard to beat Hermansen and will leave the Premier closer than ever. Later, Arsenal knew how to resist the tension in London. Nuno crazy in the band. Arteta, completely crazy celebrating the victory. But the last act remained.
West Ham did not give up and in one of the last, Callum Wilson had the fate of the Premier League in his hands. Phantom goal, the clock ringing and the drama more present than ever. Raya called foul insistently. And the pressure took effect. After a endless reviewthe referee went to the screen and he annulled the ‘hammers’ goal. Arsenal won. The Premier will be decided by details. And today can be key.
