Let's quickly take stock, before continuing this debate.

This morning, we have been looking at Arsenal's dramatic win against West Ham that has implications at both ends of the Premier League table.

The game - and perhaps this season's title race - was defined by a Hammers equaliser that was disallowed following VAR intervention - and there's been no shortage of debate on the call.

Here's a look at everything we have looked at so far:

• West Ham request PGMOL explanation on VAR call
• Ex-assistant referee Darren Cann dissects the incident on MOTD
• 'What a responsibility, what a big call' - Mikel Arteta
• 'What's allowed and what isn't should be addressed' - Nuno
• 'Where's the consistency?' - Jarrod Bowen
• 'Foul is clear and obvious' - John Murray
• 'You won't get away with holding onto a goalkeeper's arm'
• 'Similar incidents weren't seen the same way' - Thomas Hitzlsperger
• 'One time I actually think VAR did a good job' - Wayne Rooney

Just how important was this result?

Well, the outcome of Arsenal's dramatic 1-0 win at West Ham is that the Gunners have strengthened their grip on the Premier League title race and West Ham have been plunged deeper into relegation trouble, while the safety of two other teams was confirmed.

All of this hinged on the result of one VAR decision.

Mikel Arteta's league leaders now have a five-point cushion over second-placed Manchester City, who have three matches to play compared with Arsenal's two.

Meanwhile, West Ham remain in 18th place, one point behind 17th-placed Tottenham, who have three matches remaining, compared to the Hammers' two, and a vastly superior goal difference.

Spurs can move four points clear tonight with a win at home to Leeds United.

Both Leeds, in 16th, and Nottingham Forest, in 15th, are now seven points clear of West Ham and safe from relegation following Sunday's results, which included a 1-1 draw for Forest at home to Newcastle United.

First and foremost, I just want to say that if this wasn't Arsenal and the magnitude of the game wasn't what it was, with West Ham being in a renegotiation battle and Arsenal being in the title charge, I don't think we'd be even having this conversation.

Ultimately, it is a foul on David Raya.

Arsenal use set-pieces and they score goals from them. They're one of the best. Every team does the same thing now. That's just the way the game goes.

It was the right decision - it just took so long, but it took so long because of the magnitude of the game.

There have been many questions as to why the VAR chose to give the foul by Pablo on David Raya.

What about Leandro Trossard on Pablo or Declan Rice on Crysencio Summerville?

There was a lot going on, which is why the VAR, Darren England, needed over two minutes to assess everything.

In these cases, unless another foul clearly comes first, the VAR will prioritise the offence which has a material impact on the play. In this incident, it was Raya's ability to claim or play the ball as he intended.

Rice's hold on Summerville was a clear non-footballing action so could have been a penalty - but Pablo's foul on Raya came first.

What about if there was a foul on an attacker before Raya was held?

The goal would still need to be disallowed and a penalty awarded.

The VAR could not play advantage off a penalty incident and ignore a subsequent foul on the goalkeeper.

It is a bit like the Erling Haaland and Dominik Szoboszlai situation earlier this year. An advantage to Man City was played, but there was a foul by Haaland before the ball crossed the line.

The goal had to be disallowed and play pulled back to the City free-kick, which would have been given but for the advantage.

It's a clear foul. You're going to obviously get a lot of people saying they think it should have stood because it's controversial and probably all the [Manchester] City players, staff, fans are going to say it should have stood.

And then you're going to get all the Tottenham fans, players, staff saying it shouldn't have stood and of course the Arsenal fans and stuff.

But it's a clear foul. I think you can clearly see the arm crosses his face and it impacts him getting to the ball. So I think it's the right decision.

It's the one time I actually think VAR has done a really good job in such an important game.

This particular incident, I agree, the goal shouldn't have stood and it didn't stand, so that's correct. The fact that Arsenal played this way all season and similar incidents weren't seen the same way, that makes it more complicated.

I think it would have been a nice touch from Chris Kavanagh to say, goal disallowed, but we're giving a penalty. When you look at some of the Arsenal players, the way they're pulling West Ham players, I'd say that's a consolation.

Since Sunday even we've seen a lot of other examples floating around social media of potential fouls on a goalkeeper - where a goal has been allowed to stand.

Crucially, Pablo's challenge on David Raya is not the same.

Pablo has his arm fully across the goalkeeper, with his hand holding on to the opposite arm.

This clearly limits Raya's ability to claim or play the ball and is markedly different - it is a clear case of impeding a goalkeeper.

Perhaps the most direct example affected Arsenal three years ago. They had a goal disallowed against Leicester through VAR for Ben White holding the arm of Danny Ward as the goalkeeper was about to come out and attempt a punch.There have been several goals this season where an attacker has been in contact with a goalkeeper and VAR has stayed out of it, but not when an arm is being held in the act of trying to claim, play or catch the ball.

On players grappling in the box during corners...

It is now down to the referees to be stronger on this.

It is embarrassing for the Premier League and PGMOL [Professional Game Match Officials Limited], the referees union, effectively. They should address this and have more consistency.

It hasn't been the greatest of seasons in terms of quality, but what a dramatic end this has been to the end of the season.

It was interesting listening to Darren Cann on Match of the Day about how you address all this grappling in the box. Ultimately, it was the right decision. Pablo did foul David Raya. It took four minutes 11 seconds to decide via VAR, but something has got to be done about the wrestling that we are seeing overall.

It obviously took some time. I would like a bit more of the rugby and cricket style, explaining live what is going on, what the thought process is, and what the contact is between the official on the pitch and the official in the VAR box.

It was a decision that was over four minutes long, but I feel that was justified. The timing that it took because of the size of the incident.

I would say that the actual foul is clear and obvious. What's not clear and obvious are the other fouls when they happened and did they impact on the clear and obvious foul? That's how I'm seeing it.

It felt like that was the toughest hurdle that Arsenal have got left, and they managed to get over it.

I watched Jarrod Bowen talk about the fact that if you look at something long enough, you're going to find a problem.

I've looked at it and there were at least two, if not three, Arsenal players bundling my standing place on the floor.

This business in the Premier League, it's got to be stopped, it is just ridiculous and it's killing the game.

West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen echoed his manager's comments about the lack of consistency in decision making, when deciding what is and is not a foul at set-pieces:

"A real blow. We thought we'd done so well to get back in it and had it taken away from us.

"When you look at the screen for five minutes you'll find something - a lot of grappling and a lot of holding. I'm sure if you look long enough you'll find something. Do I think it's the right decision? No.

"Frustration. Where's the consistency? As a fan you don't want to celebrate a goal and then wait eight minutes and it's taken off you.

"Corners are physical. The Premier League is physical. That's why everyone loves it. You have to expect contact at corners. If you give that you have to give all the holding calls in the world and that's not the way people want the game to go down.

"I don't want to sound bitter but last week we had one with Tomas Soucek held at Brentford and we didn't get a penalty. But then you can't give one like that today."
