Cristian Romero headed into the net from a corner in the 19th minute and appeared to have put the visitors to the London Stadium 1-0 up.
However the ref blew his whistle to rule the goal out for a push.
Romero instantly sprinted to the official and screamed in his face as he and many Spurs players protested.
Replays showed that there was some shoving in the box as the ball was swung into the area with Romero’s team-mate Micky van de Ven among the culprits as he moved Kyle Walker-Peters out the way.
However multiple West Ham players also appeared to be pushing too.
Despite this, VAR failed to intervene meaning the referee’s decision stood.
An Arsenal fan on Twitter said: “I’m an arsenal fan and can see spurs were robbed.”
Pundits agreed that it was the wrong decision from the referee.
Jamie Redknapp, speaking on Sky Sports, said: “I don’t see it.
“I just don’t think it’s enough.”
Gianfranco Zola agreed, saying: “It’s not enough in my opinion”.
THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
