Eden Hazard penalty: Pundits and fans split over whether ref Anthony Taylor should have awarded a spot-kick for a foul by Hector Bellerin
There are two camps over whether Prem ref Taylor should have awarded a foul on the Belgian wizard as Jamie Carragher says it was "definitely" an infringement
EDEN HAZARD left the Emirates pitch to a chorus of boos after being awarded a controversial penalty in Chelsea's crunch clash at Arsenal.
But there seems to be zero consensus over whether it was actually a penalty or not.
Ref Anthony Taylor awarded the Blues a spot kick as Hector Bellerin waved a leg at Hazard inside the box.
The decision appeared soft, with little evidence of contact - but some fans pointed out the contact on Hazard's foot from the Spaniard.
Gary Neville said there was no way it was a penalty on Sky Sports' commentary, while his colleague Jamie Carragher tweeted that it was.

Neville said on commentary: "There's not much in it at all. That's not a penalty."
But he later changed his mind, adding: "It looks like a penalty from the referee's angle."

After the game, Carragher added it was "100 per cent" a penalty, but Dermont Gallagher admitted it was marginal.
Either way Twitter was likewise split over the issue...
