West Ham goalkeeper Mads Hermansen says goalkeeping clashes at set pieces have become a significant problem after a late incident during the Premier League match against Arsenal. Hermansen reacts to a VAR decision that denies West Ham what they believed was a stoppage-time equaliser. Both outlets report that West Ham thought they had scored during a late phase, but the goal is ruled out after a VAR review. The disallowed goal is linked to a foul involving Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya: the referee, Chris Kavanagh, disallows the strike after determining there was contact that constitutes a foul connected to Raya. Hermansen argues that pushing and shoving at corners is common and claims that goalkeepers are effectively blocked in ways that may be against the rules, suggesting the issue has broader implications for how such incidents are judged. The accounts agree on the match, the VAR and referee involvement, and the basic reason the goal is cancelled, while focusing on Hermansen’s concern about how goalkeeper obstruction is handled.
