West Ham's late equalizer from Callum Wilson was disallowed by VAR in the closing moments of their match against Arsenal. The decision came after referee Chris Kavanagh initially awarded the goal following a scrappy corner. VAR Darren England intervened after reviewing the incident, believing West Ham's Pablo had fouled Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya as he attempted to collect the ball.

England conducted a thorough analysis of the packed penalty area, identifying four potential infringement zones. The VAR determined Pablo's arm across Raya's chest impeded the goalkeeper's movement and ability to catch the ball. After recommending an on-field review, referee Kavanagh agreed with the assessment and correctly disallowed the goal.

Former Premier League referee Andy Davies praised the decision as a positive use of VAR technology. The foul had a direct impact on the goalkeeper's ability to make the save in a potentially season-defining moment. This intervention prevented a wrong outcome, demonstrating how VAR can match officials when real-time decisions prove challenging in chaotic situations.
