Chelsea drew 2-2 away at Arsenal on Wednesday evening.

Chelsea couldn’t claim all three points against Arsenal on Wednesday night as Hector Bellerin’s late equaliser rescued a 2-2 draw for the Gunners.
The Blues went into the game having hammered Stoke City 5-0 on Saturday afternoon, and were hoping to claim another victory when they made the short trip to the Emirates Stadium.
Jack Wilshere may have given Arsenal the lead in the second half, but goals from Eden Hazard and Marcos Alonso put Chelsea 2-1 up, putting them on the brink of victory.

However, Bellerin struck in added time to give Arsenal a point, leaving Chelsea second in the Premier League table, 13 points adrift of league leaders Manchester City.
Having turned the game on its head, Chelsea will be frustrated to have not left with all three points, and striker Alvaro Morata will be particularly frustrated with his showing.
The Spanish hitman squandered a host of chances, including a clear one on one in the first half and two more in the second, firing wide or straight at Petr Cech.
Given that, just days ago, Morata told the London Evening Standard that Mauricio Pochettino wanted him to join Tottenham, Spurs fans unsurprisingly took notice of his display on Wednesday night.
Fans couldn’t believe that a so-called top striker such as Morata was missing such clear chances, and believe that he doesn’t even deserve to be compared to Spurs goal machine Harry Kane in the future, as they are simply leagues apart.
