The Arsenal manager was a long way from his technical area and there was steam coming out of his ears. He caught Hazard’s foot, the Chelsea forward went down and, if the fall seemed exaggerated in real time, Taylor’s decision was vindicated with every replay. Fàbregas shot high when well placed on 45 minutes but he was otherwise excellent. Mesut Özil had gone close before Wilshere bludgeoned Arsenal into the lead, after Rob Holding’s low pass had flicked off Morata. Lacazette promptly worked Courtois but the game would turn sharply on the Chelsea penalty.
