- ▸ Arsenal's goal from L. Trossard in the 83rd minute was crucial as it shifted the momentum entirely in Arsenal's favor, securing their lead in the latter stages of the match.
- ▸ West Ham's late VAR intervention, which disallowed a goal to C. Wilson, further solidified Arsenal's advantage and prevented a potential comeback.
