'They bully defences' - Ikpeba criticises Arsenal after controversial VAR decision in win at West Ham

Reacting to Arsenal's controversial 1-0 win over West Ham United, former African Footballer of the Year Victor Ikpeba has criticised both VAR and the Gunners' physical approach during set-piece situations.

Arsenal strengthened their position in the Premier League title race with a hard-fought victory over West Ham United on Sunday evening, with Leandro Trossard netting what proved to be the game-winning goal at the London Stadium.

Trossard broke the deadlock in the 83rd minute to put Arsenal on course for a vital win, but there was drama deep into stoppage time when Callum Wilson appeared to have rescued a dramatic equaliser for West Ham.

However, amid strong protests from Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya, the Video Assistant Referee stepped in to review the incident.

After an extended check and a trip to the pitchside monitor, referee Chris Kavanagh disallowed the goal for a foul by Pablo in the build-up.
