Chelsea secured a narrow 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace in a Premier League match, thanks to Noni Madueke's 89th-minute penalty. The win provided some relief for manager Mauricio Pochettino, who has been under pressure to deliver results and restore Chelsea to its former glory. The match saw Michael Olise equalise for Crystal Palace before Madueke's late penalty, which was questioned for its validity. Christopher Nkunku made his first start for Chelsea since joining last summer and provided a pass for Mudryk's goal. Romeo Lavia made his debut amid an injury crisis for the team, but Pochettino expressed concern over Lavia, who seemed to have picked up an issue during the game. In another match, Arsenal faced a setback in their title aspirations with a 2-0 defeat to West Ham United at the Emirates Stadium. The game's first goal was contentious, as VAR was unable to conclusively prove whether the ball had gone out of play before West Ham scored. Despite having 77 touches in the opposition box, Arsenal failed to score. David Moyes achieved his first win at Arsenal after numerous attempts, and West Ham secured their third consecutive Premier League win without conceding.
๐จ๐ต Pochettino on Lavia: โRomรฉo felt something and we need to check and hope itโs not too badโ. โWe are a little bit worried, as he was struggling to runโ. โHeโs an important player that we recovered, and itโs going to be a shame if we cannot use him in the next few gamesโ. https://t.co/sX1yR7kud6

Resolute defending from West Ham. Cannot believe they won, let alone kept a clean sheet. Arsenal lived in and around 18-yard box the last 20-plus minutes. Have to believe the Gunners add a center forward in next few weeks.
FT: #AFC 0-2 #WHUFC. West Ham's last match of 2023 and what a way to end it. Brilliant performance. Moyes played down their chances of fighting for top six but this team can. Wins against Man United & Arsenal show they can. Team is finding consistency, long may it continue.
Home defeat against West Ham makes it one win from four in the Premier League for Arsenal. Eight points dropped. There've been some tough fixtures, but that's not a good enough return for a team with aspirations of winning the title. Poor in both penalty boxes tonight. https://t.co/U3EhOeKHcO

For clarity... goal was given on-field and as there was no conclusive proof the ball was out of play, they stick with on-field decision. 1-0 West Ham.
Did the ball go out of play?? The goal stands, West Ham lead! #ARSWHU #BBCFootball https://t.co/LKalyfrQvQ
Impossible to tell with that camera angle if the ball was definitely out - though it probably was IMO- so goal for West Ham the correct decision . Technology still for some way to go.
