In a dramatic Premier League match at the London Stadium, West Ham United drew 1-1 with Aston Villa. The game was marked by controversy due to the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system. West Ham's Michail Antonio opened the scoring with a header, but Aston Villa equalized through Zaniolo. The match saw intense moments, particularly towards the end when West Ham believed they had scored a winning goal in the 96th minute through Tomas Soucek. However, the goal was disallowed after a VAR review, advised by referee Jarred Gillett, determined the ball had come off Soucek's arm. This decision, along with another disallowed goal for West Ham due to handball, led to frustration among players, fans, and West Ham manager David Moyes, who was visibly furious and confronted the referee. The game ended with boos from the home fans, as West Ham had two goals ruled out for handball, leaving both teams to share the points.
