Arteta: Now I understand how difficult and big the refereeing job is

The most important VAR decision in Premier League history was rightly on Arsenal's side, overturning a West Ham goal in the 95th minute and leaving the north London team at the top with their fate in their hands ahead of the final two rounds.

Referee Chris Kavanagh watched the controversial moment for a long time, practically from all angles, and ultimately decided that Callum Wilson's goal would not count due to an earlier foul by Pablo on goalkeeper David Ray.

Arsenal celebrated 1-0, somehow surviving the immense pressure of the final rounds of the championship race at the Olympic Stadium, and their coach Mikel Arteta learned that in these games it's not just the clubs that are under immense tension.

"I've probably learned now how difficult and big a job a referee has," Arteta said.

His team has five points and a match more than Manchester City with two rounds to go - if the goal had not been disallowed, everything would not be in the hands of the "Gunners". At the same time, without that point, West Ham is getting closer to relegation.

"We are talking about a moment that could decide history, the course of two great clubs fighting for their lives to achieve their goals," Arteta added.

And while West Ham are fighting for their Premier League survival, Arteta's team are now close to ending a 22-year drought without being champions of England.

"I think it was a very brave decision, but also very consistent with what has been talked about throughout the season. I was critical when it was necessary, but now I have to praise them. They gave the referee the opportunity to decide - away from that chaos - to make the right decision," the expert from Spain pointed out.

Arsenal will host Burnley and Crystal Palace, while City will play against the team from Selhurst Park, as well as Bournemouth and Aston Villa.
