Jack and Cal break down West Ham 0-1 Arsenal, discussing Callum Wilson's late disallowed equaliser which was controversially ruled out by VAR for a potential foul on David Raya by Pablo Felipe. They talk the lack of consistency in refereeing set-pieces, particularly regarding blocking and grappling from corners, and how these decisions are impacting both the relegation battle and title race. They also praise the Hammers' resilient defending, break down the significant impact Ben White's injury had by forcing Declan Rice into a makeshift right-back role and debate if West Ham were good enough on the ball.
