Arsenal edged West Ham 1‑0 on Saturday, putting the Gunners five points clear of Manchester City with a game in hand. Leandro Trossard seized the winner after a VAR‑scrapped Callum Wilson effort, while David Raya’s late save on Mateus Fernandes preserves the shutout. The result marks the seventh 1‑0 scoreline for Arsenal this campaign and revives hopes of a first league crown since 2004.

Arteta praised his squad’s resilience after a week that saw City drop points and Arsenal bounce back from a slump that left them with only two wins in eight fixtures earlier in the month. Three consecutive clean sheets, including the Champions League final triumph, underline a defensive solidity that has kept Raya unbeaten in 18 of 36 league games, a record‑breaking tally.

Raya’s consistency earned him the Premier League Golden Glove for the third straight season, a feat no other keeper can match with three matches remaining. His 27 clean sheets across all competitions place him fourth‑best in goals‑against‑average among 100‑appearance veterans, trailing only Petr Čech, Edwin van der Sar and Ederson. Arsenal now stand on the brink of history, with the league trophy within reach.
