PGMOL chief Howard Webb has issued his decision on the disallowed West Ham United goal against Arsenal in the Premier League match on Sunday.
Arsenal secured a 1‑0 victory at the London Stadium after Leandro Trossard scored the only goal.
West Ham’s late equaliser, struck by Callum Wilson, was ruled out by referee Chris Kavanagh following an intervention from the VAR.
In the latest episode of “Match Officials Mic’d Up,” Webb affirmed that Kavanagh’s decision was correct in disallowing the goal.
He explained that the incident involved a clear foul by West Ham player Pablo on Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya.
“Is it a foul on the goalkeeper? Categorically yes,” Webb said. “We have said all season, including in pre‑season briefings with the players, that if a goalkeeper is impeded by an opponent holding their arm and therefore they can’t do their job, they will be penalised.
“So, when you see the best angle on this, you will see that that is what happens from Pablo. And on the video, it’s clear, and it happens early.”
