Mikel Arteta insists technology is 'not good enough' after VAR was unable to conclusively rule on Tomas Soucek's controversial opener... as Arsenal suffer title race blow to West Ham

Mikel Arteta hit out at VAR again as Arsenal fell to a shock home defeat by West Ham, blowing their chance to regain top spot.

The result was David Moyes’s first away league victory against the old ‘big four’ of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United — at the 73rd time of asking.

Tomas Soucek controversially opened the scoring in the first half, with VAR unable to determine whether the ball had gone out before Jarrod Bowen’s cross.

Former Gunner Konstantinos Mavropanos doubled the lead after half-time to seal the victory.
