Arsenal stayed in control of the Premier League title race by beating relegation-threatened West Ham 1-0 thanks to an 83rd-minute goal by Leandro Trossard and a dramatic late VAR call on Sunday.

Arsenal restored its five-point lead over second-place Manchester City and will clinch its first league title since 2004 by winning its final two games, at home to Burnley and away to Crystal Palace.

Trossard scored off a shot that took a couple of slight deflections and found the bottom corner. Callum Wilson thought he’d equalized for West Ham following a corner in the fifth minute of stoppage time. After a long delay, the goal was ruled out for a foul on Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya.

Barcelona retains title

Watched by its grieving coach, Barcelona won its second straight Spanish league title and 29th overall with a 2-0 win over Real Madrid at Camp Nou on Sunday.

Goals by Marcus Rashford in the ninth minute and Ferran Torres in the 18th gave Barcelona the victory and an insurmountable 14-point advantage over its fierce rival with three rounds remaining in La Liga.

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick was in the dugout for Sunday’s clasico following the death of his father, which Barcelona announced hours before kickoff. Players from both teams wore black armbands and there was a moment of silence before kickoff.
