West Ham equaliser ruled out, VAR controversy prompts review

sportsMay 11, 20265588

VAR overturned West Ham's late equaliser against Arsenal after match officials ruled West Ham players fouled goalkeeper David Raya while contesting a corner. Referees determined the contact prevented Raya from playing the ball, so the goal was disallowed and Arsenal retained the lead in the closing minutes. The International Football Association Board will review enforcement of corner grappling rules, a change that could alter how referees police physical clashes at set pieces.
