Former defender Gary Neville told his podcast that Leandro Trossard’s late winner for Arsenal at West Ham could rank as the most important goal in Tottenham Hotspur’s Premier League history. He added the disallowed equaliser after a VAR review was “potentially the biggest VAR call ever for Spurs”. Neville believes the moment may define the club’s survival hopes.

Arsenal’s 1‑0 victory lifted them off the bottom, leaving Tottenham one point above the relegation zone. A win against already‑safe Leeds would push Spurs four points clear of the drop, a cushion that could prove decisive. De Zerbi’s men know a slip‑up would hand the North London rivals a lifeline they cannot afford.

If Spurs secure the three points, Neville says the club will have “got over the line” and left West Ham’s missed chance as a footnote. The pressure on manager Antonio Conte intensifies, with every match now a must‑win to avoid a late‑season scramble. A victory would cement the win as a turning point in Tottenham’s campaign.

Leeds, though secure, will still aim to finish strongly, but their lack of stakes means Tottenham can dictate play. Fans watching on Sky Sports will see a tense showdown, with the outcome likely reshaping the bottom half of the table for the final weeks.
