Callum Wilson was robbed of an incredible moment at the end of West Ham\u2019s 1-0 defeat to Arsenal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wilson scored an equaliser in added time as Declan Rice failed to clear his left-footed strike off the line.<\/p>\n

\n

However, referee Chris Kavanagh was sent to the pitchside screen to assess a potential foul by Pablo Felipe.<\/p>\n

Kavanagh then decided to disallow the goal after Pablo\u2019s arm obstructed Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya.<\/p>\n

Wilson has since taken to social media to post a hilarious Jose Mourinho video that sums up the situation.<\/p>\n

Callum Wilson posts iconic Jose Mourinho clip after disallowed goal vs Arsenal<\/h2>\n

Set pieces have arguably been the biggest talking point throughout the 2025\/26 Premier League season.<\/p>\n

Arsenal started a trend where players surround the goalkeeper and make it almost impossible for them to claim crosses.<\/p>\n

It now happens at almost every set piece in every Premier League game, regardless of which teams are playing.<\/p>\n

Ironically, West Ham have now had a goal disallowed for doing the same against the team that has perfected set-piece chaos.<\/p>\n

If fouls were always given for what Pablo did to Raya, dozens of Arsenal goals would have been ruled out this season.<\/p>\n

One can only assume those are also Wilson\u2019s thoughts, as he posted a clip of Jose Mourinho on his Instagram story.<\/p>\n

In the iconic video, Mourinho said: \u201cI prefer really not to speak. If I speak, I am in big trouble, in big trouble, and I don\u2019t want to be in big trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former Chelsea manager refused to speak about the referee\u2019s performance, as he knew it would get him into trouble.<\/p>\n

Wilson clearly feels he cannot say what he really wants to say about the disallowed goal against Arsenal.<\/p>\n

His Mourinho reference was a clever way to express his disapproval of the decision without saying it himself.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, Wilson will get another opportunity to make the headlines against his former club, Newcastle, next weekend.<\/p>\n
