Arsenal Clinches Narrow Victory Over West Ham to Maintain Premier League Lead

The "Gunners" Arsenal achieved their goal by winning away against West Ham United, firmly holding the top spot in the English Premier League.

In the 2025-26 English Premier League match on Sunday, 10 May 2026 GMT+7, West Ham United, known as the "Hammers," hosted league leaders Arsenal at London Stadium.

The first half ended goalless at 0-0. Then, in the second half at the 83rd minute, Arsenal took the lead 1-0 when Martin Ødegaard drove into the penalty area and passed to Leandro Trossard, who struck a right-footed shot into the net.

In injury time at the 90+5 minute mark, drama unfolded when Arsenal's defense failed to clear the ball properly, allowing Callum Wilson to shoot across the line before the ball was blocked out. The referee initially awarded West Ham an equalizing goal, but after a VAR review, the goal was disallowed because Pablo Felipe fouled Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya beforehand.

The match ended with Arsenal winning 1-0 away at West Ham, bringing their total to 79 points and maintaining their lead at the top of the table, five points ahead of Manchester City, although Arsenal have played one more match.
