Arsenal On The Brink: Drama In East London
5/11/202639 min
Huge controversy at the London Stadium as Arsenal snatch a massive three points away to West Ham. The Hammers thought they had rescued a dramatic injury-time equaliser, only for VAR to rule it out after a lengthy review. Was it the correct decision, and could VAR ultimately decide the Premier League title race? Meanwhile, Manchester City kept the pressure on with a win over Brentford to remain five points behind with a game in hand. But has that costly draw against Everton F.C. already sealed their fate? Elsewhere, Gary, Alan & Micah discuss AFC Bournemouth’s incredible rise towards Champions League football and debate whether Andoni Iraola is making the right decision by leaving at the end of the season.

[gentle music] I sold my car on Carvana last night. Well, that's cool. No, y- you don't understand. It went perfectly. Real offer, down to the penny. They're picking it up tomorrow. Nothing went wrong. So, wh- what's the problem? That is the problem. Nothing in my life goes this smoothly. I'm waiting for the catch. Maybe there's no catch. That's exactly what a catch would want me to think. [laughs] Wow, you need to relax. I need to knock on wood. Do we have wood? Is this table wood? I think it's laminate. Okay. Yeah. That's good. That's close enough.

Gary Lineker· Host1:00
[upbeat music] Coming up on today's show, sort of sums things up a little bit, that VAR could decide [laughs] who wins the league. If I were a West Ham fan, or indeed a Manchester City fan, I'd, I think I'd be a little bit angry tonight.
Micah Richards· Host1:14
What if they win the double? The Champions League and the Premier League. It would be remarkable. They've just got to win three more games.
Alan Shearer· Host1:22
This'll be the day that Arsenal look back and think, "We did it that day."
Micah Richards· Host1:25
I don't believe the title race is over yet though, guys. I just think there's another twist.
