What happened in the first half of the Arsenal vs Chelsea match?
Goalless first half of the Emirates, and then the goals came flooding in. Jack Wilshere first for Arsenal. Wenger on his feet, but then just moments later, he was back down in his chair. Hazard, a judge who had been fouled by Bellerin, penalty given. Hazard kept his eye on Petr Cech and had his first goal at the Emirates, one apiece. And then Chelsea thought they'd won it, 84 minutes on the clock. Zappacosta this time for Alonso, wing-back to wing-back. But there was still a twist in this game. The other wing-back, Hector Bellerin, for his first of the season and still a chance for Chelsea to win it in the dying moments. Well, this could be interesting. Hector Bellerin and Eden Hazard with Jeff Shreves.
How did Jack Wilshere score Arsenal's opening goal?
Eden, Hector, first of all, that was an absolutely magnificent game of football to watch. What was it like playing in that?
Well, it was non-stop football, you know, running up and down. You know, we know when we play them, it's always a hard game. There's always a lot of entertainment. Always really hard. We worked hard all week and, you know, it's a bit disappointing because we should have held the score at the beginning. But, you know, it was a great reaction towards the end.
What led to the penalty awarded to Chelsea?
Eden, was it like a heavyweight boxing fight, toe-to-toe, slugging it out?
Yeah, it was like 50-50, like you said. I think we played both teams a really good game. Maybe we should score more goals. We missed a lot of chances, but at the end, I think the draw is a good result for both teams, so we are happy. Zappacosta, did you think you'd won it right at the death there? Yeah, yeah, I think the last shoot should be a goal. But I think before, just half an hour missed the chance. Peter did a great job today.
How did the match turn around after Chelsea's equalizer?
But like I say, we are just happy. Now, you were both involved in the penalty incident, your version of events, what happened?
Well, he's very quick always in the box, you know, I saw the ball in the air and I tried to challenge for it and then we both got to the ball at the same time, the referee thought it was a penalty, so then we'll have to see the replay, see what it was like, he was really quick in the game. For you, Eden, pen?
No, we don't need a replay, yeah, it's a penalty. When you stepped up with Petr Cech, the form he was in tonight, did you think, I've really got to be on my game here?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think Peter is a great goalkeeper. It's always hard to score against him.
What was the significance of Hector Bellerin's late equalizer?
And we know he's good also for the penalty. But I put the ball on the net. That's the most important thing.
It was a full-back's night for scoring, though. How did that feel, to get that equaliser right at the end there?
Well, it was great. It was overdue for me, I hadn't scored a goal in a while, so it was great to do it for a comeback in a very fought game. So, happy with the goal, but happy with the reaction towards the end from the whole team.
Overall, do you both think a draw was a fair result, given the game?
What were the thoughts of players on the thrilling nature of the game?
No, I think Chelsea should win this game. Because of the chances? Sorry? Because of the number of chances you had? Because of the chance we missed.
No way, no way. We had so many chances, especially in the first half. I think, well, we both teams, we missed. We had a few more, but, you know, I think it was a great game of football, most of all.
Well, we'll leave you two to shake hands and carry on arguing. Thanks, guys. Thank you.
I think those two have got a future as pundits, don't you think? I mean, Bellerin looks like Mickey Pierce and sounds like Mickey Pierce when he feels on horses. I mean, I'm one to talk about accents. I've never heard nothing like that. I'm glad you said that. What is it about Arsenal and giving us games like this, Thierry?
They'll give you that because, first and foremost, the way they go forward is absolutely brilliant, the way they play. There's also something that I want to mention, that they don't lose those games anymore. They come back into it, they fight, they stay in it. But also on the other side, it looks like they can concede every single time because you come back in the game 2-2.
