Arsenal defeated West Ham 1-0 in the London derby in the 36th round of the Premier League, thanks to a goal from Trossard. Trossard said his teammates gave their all in the game, and it was a well-deserved victory.
In the 83rd minute of the second half, Ødegaard received a pass from Rice, evaded the defense, and crossed the ball. Trossard seized the opportunity and fired a shot into the net, giving Arsenal a 1-0 lead.
In the second half stoppage time, West Ham's corner kick was cleared, and Callum Wilson curled a shot into the net. However, after VAR intervention, it was determined that Pablo had interfered with Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya, so the goal was disallowed.
Arsenal ultimately defeated West Ham 1-0 in this London derby. With their third consecutive win, Arsenal currently sit atop the league table with 79 points, five points ahead of second-placed Manchester City, who have a game in hand.
Arsenal winger Trossard said: "The game was really tense in the final stages, but we are really happy that the result was in our favor in the end. We have to fight until the last minute, especially in a game like this. We knew the game would be close because we also knew what we were fighting for."
“When the ball finally flew into the goal, I felt a real sense of relief. To be honest, Ridge’s run in that attack was brilliant. He did an excellent job, getting the ball to my feet, and all I had to do was kick it in. After that moment, I believed we could keep a clean sheet because we are just as strong in that aspect. So I have to give credit to all my teammates. Everyone gave their all, and I think this was a well-deserved victory.”
Speaking about goalkeeper David Raya, Trossard said, "He showed his ability again, just like he has all season. He always steps up in crucial moments to keep the score 0-0. Then, on the other end, I scored that important goal."
Regarding West Ham's late goal being disallowed, Trossard stated, "From the very beginning, I felt it was clearly a foul, so I always believed the referee would disallow the goal and resume play. But in those moments, a lot of things are on your mind. Ultimately, however, I believe it was indeed a foul."
