But the lead last only for four minutes when Eden Hazard converting from the spot to level after his foot had been aught by Bellerin on to which Arsene Wenger said on pointing to the decision of referee "you could give 10 penalties like that a game".

                         In 84th minutes Marcos Alonso scored for the blue's to make it 1-2 lead over Gunners. Alvoro Morata wasted three 0ne-on-one opportunities. Chelsea manager Conte said: "I think it is a pity because when you have so many chances to score you must win the game. Instead we are talking about draw against a good team, but in  this game we deserved to win as we created a lot of chances. Backing up Morat: "It is not luck in this period, he has to continue to work and continue to improve. For a striker it is very important to score. It is a pity, he had many chances to score, but I'm very happy with his commitment and effort for the team." After Bellerin conceded the penalty, he scored a brilliant side-foot half-volley to make it level at 90+2 minute of the game and raise roof at the Emirates.
