Premier League since 2004 with a dramatic 1-0 win over West Ham on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Attempting to answer Manchester City\u2019s 3-0 victory over Brentford the day prior to this, it looked as if Arsenal would drop points in east London before Leandro Trossard\u2019s late goal.<\/p>\n<p>West Ham, desperately fighting for his or her Premier League status, thought they scored an injury-time equaliser but Callum Wilson\u2019s goal was ruled out following a lengthy VAR check.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal\u2019s win leaves them five points clear of Man City with two matches remaining, though Pep

has more doubts about their Champions League credentials as they prepare to face holders PSG in the ultimate.<\/p>\n<p>The north Londoners beat Atletico Madrid within the semi-finals to succeed in
