Premier League: Arsene Wenger Blames Referee's Decision For Arsenal's Draw With Chelsea
The Arsenal and Chelsea slugged it out in an epic first game of the year which could have gone Blue's way, but Bellerin rescued Arsenal from a loss with a late goal to finish in a 2-2 draw at Emirates Stadium.
The two side battered each other's boxes with well-aimed attempts even late in the injury time, as Alvaro Morata attempt in the box minutes after Arsenal's equaliser could have given Chelsea s win but Courtois saved it.
Speaking after the match, the 68-year-old Arsenal manager lamented about the decision made by the referee Anthony Taylor and described it as "bad decision".
"It was a remarkable game. Once again we got a very bad decision against us," Wenger pointed out "It was a great football game, when you come here you see football but unfortunately you see as well bad decisions."
When asked about contentious penalty decision made by the ref, and what can be done about players diving he said football is all about "controversy".
"Honestly, if not so yes....I love football and I don't want to comment about referees. When you come here you see football and that what you want people to talk about."
It's about controversy, frustration but it's not what we all live. We live to love football, media and social networks," he said.
Arsenal first moved ahead in the lead through Jack Wilshere's strike in the 63rd minutes but Hector Bellerin soon concede a penalty which Chelsea's Eden Hazard converted for an equalizer in 67th minutes.
Arsenal soon went a drift as Chelsea's Davide Zappacosta's cross set Marcos Alonso for a scoring chance which he completed in the 84th minutes.
Right on the brink of full-time, Spain international Bellerin rescued Arsenal with a right footed shot in the box beaten Petr Cech to the post.
