Former Premier League assistant referee Darren Cann has suggested a rule change, such that an attacking teams' players would not be allowed in the six-yard box when taking a corner.
Arsenal kept themselves in the driving seat in the title race on Sunday after a late Callum Wilson equaliser for West Ham was disallowed.
Chris Kavanagh overturned the initial decision of a goal after being sent to the monitor by VAR Darren England -- having determined that Pablo fouled David Raya.
But they had plenty of company with three Claret shirts inside the six yard box, with Wilson and goalkeeper Mads Hermansen just outside. VAR Darren England determined that among the jostling in the area, Pablo's raised arm constituted a foul.
Cann, who ran the line in the Premier League for over 20 years, said on BBC's Match of the Day that a rule change was in order.
"I feel that the time has come now for a law change whereby no attackers are allowed in the six yard box before the corner is taken," he said.
"At goal kicks, forwards are not allowed in the penalty area, but corners, they shouldn't be allowed in the six yard box until the ball is in play.
The 52-year-old, who officiated at the 2010 World Cup Final, said that it would eliminate the problem that the referee cannot award a foul when play is yet to restart.

"Lots of teams grapple at corners, sometimes before the ball has come into play, and then obviously the referee can't give a penalty, can't give an indirect free kick if the ball is not in play," he explained.
"So this would create that natural separation and eradicate these kind of situations."
The six yard box is mainly used to define the area from which goal kicks can be taken.
The decision yesterday to award the goal may go down as a pivotal one in the context of the title race -- as Arsenal's win put them five clear, despite Manchester City's game in hand.
A draw would have allowed City to catch the Gunners on points when they take on Crystal Palace on Wednesday.
