    Nicholas Reynolds: Conspiracy to steer Arsenal to the title and deny Leicester. Shocking refereeing bias and poor decisions.

    Femi John Atoyebi: West Ham are so so unlucky with refereeing! 

    Mickey Wallis: What goes around comes around. We've had our bad luck too remember. Ramsey vs Liverpool being one example.

    Dave Payn: Do wish officials were helped out. Prefer the team I follow (Arsenal) to win fairly. Hammers goal should have stood.

    Alexis Sanchez has been directly involved in six goals in his last five Premier League games (3 goals, 3 assists). 

    Arsenal's top players have hit form - have they hit it too late in the season though?

    "It's a magnificent Arsenal goal. The movement from Sanchez is top class. He's left two for dead. First touch is instant and then he slides it past Adrian: ruthless. Absolutely ruthless from Arsenal."

    This boy Alex Iwobi. This boy.

    Great move from Arsenal, and the goalscorer starts it.

    Alexis Sanchez, on the left side, plays in field to Francis Coquelin, who prods forward to Iwobi.

    The 19-year-old just drops a delicious ball into the left channel of the area to where Sanchez has continued his run and, from pretty much the exact same position as Mesut Ozil's goal, he slides it past Adrian.

    Chris Mitchell: That's exactly the sort of luck you need to be champions. Really do fancy Arsenal to win the PL from here. In form & scoring.

    Emmanuel Ayodele: Leicester City FC and Tottenham Hotspur WATCH your back,  ARSENAL, the kings are coming.

    Neal Collins: Passion of bubbling-blowing Hammers fans MUST count for something, but Arsenal showing more gumption than expected.

    Now it's Manuel Lanzini's turn to have a pop from distance. He hits a Dimitri Payet corner on the half volley from 25 yards - it bobbles wide.

    Alex Iwobi has scored twice and assisted another goal in his last three league starts for Arsenal. 

    The reputation of this lad continues to swell - and regardless of the offside debate, it was a super ball through for the goal.

    He's in among it again as Arsenal tee up Alexis Sanchez from long distance, but it's straight at Adrian.

    It's about 35 yards out left of centre and Dimitri Payet opts to swing it on to the penalty spot and Arsenal opt to head it clear.

    Referee Craig Pawson will not be invited out for dinner in east London any time soon.

    Mark Noble tries to clip a ball to the right flank. It catches Nacho Monreal on the arm - it's a debatable one, but the Upton Park crowd are howling for everything at the moment.

    That goal was Arsenal's first shot on target by the way.

    A few fouls in the middle of the park have slowed this down a tad.

    Nacho Monreal is playing silly billies in his own half, losing the ball to West Ham's Michail Antonio. West Ham win a corner, but fail to make anything.

    West Ham 0-1 Arsenal

    Former West Ham midfielder Trevor Sinclair thinks Arsenal got away with one before their goal, andfans of both sides agree.

    Paul Collins: Arsenal fan but in fairness, West Ham's goal was onside yet disallowed. Our goal has been given yet looked slightly offside.

    Simon Goodall: West Ham disallowed goal, not offiside. Arsenal allowed goal offisde. Conspiracy??

    Also worth noting that Arsenal's Nacho Monreal was lying on the deck in the West Ham area, in an offside position (but arguably not interfering with play).

    Just had another look at Manuel Lanzini's disallowed one at the other end too - he was very onside. West Ham have taken one right to the bread basket.

    "My worry with West Ham is they don't want to get into a football game with Arsenal. If they get into a football game with Arsenal, there will only be one winner."

    Out of a bit of chaos comes a shard of quality.

    West Ham fail to clear their lines and Alex Iwobi has the time to slide a pass through to Mesut Ozil down the left side of the area. Ozil finishes well.

    But was he offside? It's equally as tight as Manuel Lanzini's disallowed one.

    Manuel Lanzini again. He nods it in, but this time he's offside again. Hmmm borderline this one.

    Mark Noble crosses from the left, Andy Carroll connects with an overhead kick that bounces in front of Lanzini five yards out and he heads past David Ospins.

    Flag was up. West Ham can count themselves unlucky.

    Would any Andy Carroll fans please speak up now...

    Mickey Wallis: Am I the only one who thinks that warrants a red card from Carroll? Unnecessary personal foul.

    Neil Hotchin: Andy Carroll to be sent off before he gets injured?

    Matt Flecknoe: What has Andy Carroll done to his hair?
