Arsenal close in on title as spygate overshadows playoffs

Arsenal moved two wins away from the Premier League title after a dramatic late VAR decision denied West Ham an equalizer, while Southampton were charged with alleged playoff spying.

Arsenal secured a crucial victory thanks to a contentious VAR decision that denied West Ham an injury-time equalizer, putting the Gunners just two wins away from their first Premier League title since 2004. The controversial call has sparked debate about whether Pablo Fornals fouled David Raya, with questions about whether Chris Kavanagh got the season's biggest VAR decision correct.

Meanwhile, Manchester City kept the pressure on with a 3-0 win over Brentford, while Liverpool fans booed manager Arne Slot following another frustrating draw against Chelsea. Elsewhere, Bournemouth continue their push for Champions League qualification, and Southampton face allegations of spying during Championship playoffs, dubbed 'Spygate 2.0'. sportnewz.click
