Arsenal survive a VAR-fueled thriller at West Ham that felt more like a courtroom drama than a football match. Does anyone know what a penalty is anymore? How did West Ham fall into a looming relegation nightmare? Jeremy Doku's superb form highlights another Man City win. Liverpool and Chelsea draw whilst searching for identity and hope, Manchester United’s dependence on Casemiro, and why this Premier League season may ultimately be remembered for its “crotch moments.”
