"Where is the line? Where is the bar?"
"I think he has his arm on him. I'm not going to come and be naive and stupid. I do think he's got his arm on him. But if the goalkeeper is coming to try and catch the cross, we're trying to affect that; we don't want that. He's coming out of his six-yard box; he has to expect some contact because that's the whole point. Where is the line? Where is the bar?"
"We've lost the game. In a game where we had to be good in our shape, defend well, they got the goal, but we kept in the game and had some other good big chances. Regardless of the decision, we have still lost the game and dropped a point. Two games left, it's do or die."
"We showed a good attitude, went toe to toe with the Premier League leaders, so we can't feel defeated. We have to keep going, and that's all we can do."
West Ham lost 1-0 to Arsenal after Callum Wilson’s 95th-minute goal was disallowed following a VAR check. The goal was ruled out because Pablo was judged to have fouled visiting goalkeeper David Raya in the build-up. West Ham remained near the bottom of the Premier League table, with relegation odds rising as an Opta supercomputer assigned an 87.7% chance of relegation. Jarrod Bowen questioned the standard for contact, arguing that goalkeepers coming out to contest crosses must expect some contact. West Ham still created chances in the second half, including a strong save by Raya from Mateus Fernandes. With two matches remaining, West Ham faces must-win pressure.
