Arsenal 2-2 Chelsea: Bellerin saves Gunners with late equaliser
Match Events
14' WHAT A MISS!!! Moses hoofs the ball forward and the Arsenal defence are nowhere to be seen! Morata carries the ball into the area but somehow he places his effort wide of the mark! Terrible miss.
17' NO PENALTY! Maitland-Niles goes down in the area but referee Anthony Taylor waves away the protests... Replays show him tripping over his own leg and to be fair, he doesn't look for the penalty himself.
18' OFF BOTH POSTS!! Moments later, Sanchez squeezes a shot away in the area but Courtois makes a terrific save, parrying it onto one post before it travels over the goal-line and hits the other post! Courtois then collects. Blimey, you can't come closer to scoring than that.
24' GREAT SAVE! Ozil picks out Lacazette in the middle of the area, and the Frenchman takes a touch before striking low on the turn. It looks destined for the bottom corner, but Courtois is there to get a strong palm onto it. Using all of his 199cm height there to reach that one. That's how tall a certain search engine tells me he is, at least.
39' JUST WIDE! Ozil is surrounded by three Chelsea players but he managers to work away the shot from 25 yards out. Courtois has it covered as it trickles just wide.
63' GOAL! ARSENAL 1-0 CHELSEA (Wilshere)
Jack is back!
Holding's ball into the box deflects off Morata and into the path of Wilshere... it's a narrow angle for the midfielder but he rifles in a shot into the near top corner. Unstoppable strike.
67' GOAL! ARSENAL 1-1 CHELSEA (Hazard)
That lead lasted for all of four minutes...
Hazard makes no mistake by smashing home the penalty to Cech's right.
84' GOAL! ARSENAL 1-2 CHELSEA (Alonso)
It's terrific work from Zappacosta out wide and his low cross is met with a finish most strikers would be proud of, with Alonso calmly using the pace of the ball to steer it past Cech. That's his sixth league goal of the season, more than any other defender.
90' GOAL! ARSENAL 2-2 CHELSEA (Bellerin)
Some finish from Bellerin to level for Arsenal late on. The drama!
FULL-TIME! WHAT A GAME!
A stunning game ends all-square as Hector Bellerin denies Chelsea all three points late on. However, the visitors will be wondering how Alvaro Morata did not tuck away one of his three chances tonight. The final of those came at the death, but somehow he could not beat Cech.
