West Ham 0-1 Arsenal: Gary Neville calls decision to disallow Hammers' equaliser 'the biggest moment in VAR history'

Gary Neville has called the decision to disallow West Ham's 95th-minute equaliser in a 1-0 defeat to Premier League title hopefuls Arsenal the 'biggest moment in VAR history'.

Arsenal were leading 1-0 when Callum Wilson struck a last-gasp leveller, the ball clearly crossing the line despite Declan Rice's best efforts to keep it out. Referee Chris Kavanagh awarded the goal on field.

But the strike did not survive a lengthy VAR process. Kavanagh was sent to the pitchside monitor to review the incident by VAR official Darren England and after 17 replays, totalling four minutes and 17 seconds worth of stoppage, eventually ruled that there had been a foul by Pablo on David Raya.

"This is an earthquake, a tremor of a moment," Neville said on commentary at the London Stadium.

"Arsenal Football Club's first title in 22 years could rest on this. This is one of those moments where Arsenal might think their name is on the trophy...

"VAR Darren England is the FA Cup referee. He won't face a more pressurised moment than that at Wembley."

The denial of the goal has big ramifications at both ends of the Premier League. Arsenal's fate remains in their hands and they are now two wins away from clinching the title.

Perhaps just as significant, though, is West Ham's predicament at the bottom.
