Push Network News: Arsenal suffered a tragic defeat in the Premier League in the early hours of Friday (29th), and they unexpectedly lost 0-2 when they besieged West Ham United at home. West Ham opened the scoring and then set off controversy, the ball before Bowen's bottom line cross was suspected to be out of bounds, but the bottom line camera could not be fully confirmed because it was covered by Bowen, and VAR could only uphold the original goal decision. Arsenal tried the same situation for Newcastle United last month with a throw-in assist.
Arsenal started the game with a full force of pressure, with a ball rate of more than 80% in the first 10 minutes, but it was an accident in the 13th minute that it got out of control, Magalhães and Zinchenko made mistakes in front of goal, and Bowen crossed from the bottom line, which was slammed in by Soucek. The VAR review showed that the ball was 99% out of bounds as seen by the naked eye at the moment of Bowen's cross, but because the angle of the baseline camera was blocked by Bowen's thigh, the final goal was determined to be valid after not being fully determined by the misjudgment.
Arsenal continued to attack after the loss, but the grasp was extremely poor, and the 30 attempts on goal were like scratching the itch in the boots, and only Bukayo Saka hit the post. West Ham had a sparse run but were good enough to win, and a 55-minute corner was 2-0 from Mavropanos, and there was a chance to turn around in stoppage time, but Benrahma's penalty was saved by David Raya and Arsenal still lost two goals.
Arsenal missed a chance to regain top spot after the defeat and are now two points behind Liverpool in second place, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta said after the game: "Congratulations to West Ham and also to our players, football is like that, we created a lot of chances and we should have won enough under normal circumstances, but West Ham were better than us in both boxes and there is no denying we need to improve. ”
