Jack Wilshere puts Gunners in front with powerful strike
Eden Hazard replies with controversial penalty
Marcos Alonso strike cancelled out by Hector Bellerin

Hector Bellerin's stoppage-time goal rescued a 2-2 draw for Arsenal in a pulsating and controversial Premier League clash with Chelsea.
It looked like Chelsea had come from behind to triumph when Marcos Alonso struck six minutes from time, after Jack Wilshere's first league goal since May 2015 had been cancelled out by an Eden Hazard penalty.
But the Gunners would not be beaten and Bellerin punished Alonso's poor clearing header with a fine finish for a share of the points - though there was still time for Chelsea's Davide Zappacosta to hit the crossbar.
Hector Bellerin: "It was non-stop football. We know it's always a hard game against Chelsea. It's a bit disappointing because we should've held the score at the beginning (after going 1-0 up) but it was a good reaction at the end."
Eden Hazard: "I think both teams played really well. Maybe we should've scored more goals but I think a draw at the end is a good result for both teams."
