Arsenal 2-2 Chelsea, Premier League RESULT: Hector Bellerin's late strike earns Gunners share of the points

Some finish to what was an end-to-end Premier League game. Both sides never gave up on trying to win the game. The three points looked to be going to Chelsea when Alonso struck only for Bellerin to sweetly volley beyond Courtois to earn Wenger's side a share of the points.

94min: Chelsea so close to winning the game. Morata goes clean through but his effort poor although Cech can only parry to Zappacosta, whose shot cannons off the bar. 

What a finish from Bellerin. Chelsea didn't clear their lines and Bellerin, positioned just outside the Chelsea area, gets a right foot on the ball and directs it wonderfully on the volley past Courtois. What a game.

90min: Walcott offside as he chases the ball forward. Thibaut Courtois goes into the book of Taylor after appearing to waste time. This one looks just about done for Chelsea. A brilliant response from when they went 1-0 down. Four minutes of added time to be played.

87min: Welbeck makes a run forward, down the right, but then make the wrong decision. As he got into the Chelsea box he tried an effort when he should have got the ball back across the six-yard area. Meanwhile, Chambers is replaced by Theo Walcott.

A quick counter attack results in a goal - and probably the winner for Chelsea. Zappacosta managed to play the ball into the six-yard area where Alonso, the wing back on the left side, had advanced and he strokes past Cech. A brilliant move capped with a clinical finish.

82min: Willian replaces Hazard. Arsenal fans roundly boo the Chelsea star. They believe he dived to win the penalty. That was questionable but hasn't been is the way he's performed tonight. Quite brilliant to watch. 

79min: Lacazette replaced by Danny Welbeck. Lacazette showed decent signs of a player getting back to form. Clever movement in behind the Chelsea defence but he lacked a final shot or pass. 

77min: Arsenal slowing the play down as they seek to build their first attack in ten minutes. Most of their fans were still admiring a brilliant backheel pass played by Hazard to Morata. The best player on the pitch tonight.

73min: Kante's shot deflected behind for a corner. Chelsea's eighth corner. Played in by Hazard but cleared. The ball is picked up by Alonso but he can't do anything with it before Lacazette lunges in on the defender. Silly as he gives away a Chelsea free-kick but Arsenal clear. Worth pointing out the Ozil was booked for disagreeing with referee Taylor for giving Chelsea a penalty.

71min: Excellent ball forward by Fabregas into the path of defender Calum Chambers. Morata pushes him off the ball before advancing towards goal but his effort is poor and Cech is untroubled. Meanwhile, Fabregas comes off for Danny Drinkwater.

Bellerin makes the slightest of contact on Hazard who goes down. Anthony Taylor points to the spot. Hazard steps up and fires down the middle of Cech's goal. Soft penalty but not particularly clever from the Arsenal defender. Hazard had the chance to go down and took it.

64min: Arsenal in again as Sanchez forces the save from Courtois. Corner in but is cleared as far as Sanchez. He eventually runs the ball out of play. Arsenal getting through Chelsea's backline very easily at present as the home fans chant: 'To the Arsenal one-nil.'

Ozil moves into the six-yard area but opts to pass across to Sanchez but the ball is cut out. Brilliant link up play between him and Lacazette.

Moments later and Jack Wilshere, who could well be off the pitch, bursts into the area and fires into the roof of Courtois's goal. Unstoppable strike as Kante scrambled back to try and put a tackle in.

60min: Christensen just manages to get a foot in as Bellerin ran into the Chelsea box. Arsenal corner comes in before Sanchez eventually gets to it. He wins another corner. Ozil goes close. The ball then heads to the back post before Ozil puts into the back of the net. Whistle had already been given for a foul on Alonso.

57min: Chelsea free-kick. Mustafi takes Hazard down. No booking. Kante has a shot from distance but it is blocked before Cech is required to punch clear as Zappacosta moved into the six-yard area. Danger averted.

54min: Arsenal corner breaks down moments after Wilshere appeared to dive (having already been booked he is lucky to still be on the pitch). Meanwhile, Zappacosta comes on for Moses.

52min: Lacazette turns Cahill excellent (despite the defender getting a touch) but his left-footed strike is aimed straight at Courtois who saves. Holding, meanwhile, is booked for a late challenge on Fabregas. Both goalkeepers, it must said, have done amazingly well tonight.

50min: Hazard forces a point blank save from Cech after a brilliant ball over by Fabregas. Bakayoko then finds Alonso at the back post but his header is superbly saved by Cech. Two excellent saves from the veteran goalkeeper.

47min: Chelsea appearing much sharper collectively as though start the second half... of course, as soon as I type that, Fabregas sloppily loses possession. Arsenal very calm in possession as they have been all evening. Rob Holding then gives away a foul for a challenge on Morata. He gets away without receiving a yellow card.

No changes from either side as the Blues get us started for the second period.

Even game at the Emirates. Arsenal doing well to push Chelsea back while stopping the opposition's usually ever so effective counter attacks. 

Chelsea finished the half very positively with Kante and Hazard before Fabregas failed to find the target.

Very open first half and it's only likely to become even more stretched in the second period as both sides go for the win.

44min: Started with a brilliant Kante tackle. Hazard then sprinted forward before backheeling into the path of Fabregas but his shot goes over Cech's crossbar. Kante and Hazard excellent there... Fabregas not so much.

43min: Fabregas is booked after a foul on Wilshere. Appeared at first as though he won the ball but his challenge was late. Anthony Taylor roundly jeered by the travelling Chelsea fans.

41min: Chelsea corner. Taken quickly by Hazard who gets the ball back before running into the area. Xhaka intercepts his pass before Bakayoko fouls the Arsenal midfielder. Arsenal still looking more dangerous than Chelsea when streaming forward.

38min: Ozil very close to taking the lead for Arsenal. Bakayoko and Kante fail to pick Ozil up. The Arsenal midfielder jinks to the left before firing just wide of Courtois's left post. Sanchez and Fabregas then embrace after a coming together.

36min: Free-kick as Xhaka fouls Bakayoko on the edge of the Arsenal box. A problem for Cech. Cahill takes a look at Cech to try and distract him. Alonso to take. Just inside the D. He goes for goal but his effort goes over Cech's bar. Poor.

34min: Frustrating for Wilshere. Ozil played a brilliant pass back to him but just as he was about to shoot Fabregas dispossessed him. Wilshere really needed to be onto the ball quicker than he was. Meanwhile, Lacazette can't control the ball as it falls to him just inside the Chelsea penalty area.

31min: Wilshere goes late into a challenge on Fabregas. Unsurprisingly, Anthony Taylor shows him a yellow card. A really poor tackle.

30min: Half an hour in and this one has been fairly even. Arsenal look more like scoring in open play while Chelsea's set pieces have caused the Gunners problems. Hazard impressing for Chelsea. Arsenal's key man so far has been Maitland-Niles. Very good going forward and tracking back.

26min: Bakayoko's tame left-footed shot is tipped over the bar by Cech. Maitland-Niles did well to put pressure on the Chelsea midfielder. Corner comes in and Cahill heads over. The Blues are getting closer and closer at set pieces.

24min: Chelsea corner after good work from Moses who had go beyond Maitland-Niles. Corner comes in and Bakayoko, who managed to get a run at the ball, heads over Cech's crossbar. 200th clean sheet looking safe, for now.

22min: Lacazette forces Courtois down to make a strong save. He turned with the ball so well but his shot lacked the power needed to beat the Chelsea goalkeeper. Arsenal, particularly with Ozil and Wilshere, are passing the ball so well. Chelsea finding it difficult to find a rhythm.

19min: Arsenal slow the play down as Chelsea get all of their outfield players behind the ball. They are conceding possession too cheaply and Arsenal are pushing forward each time one of their players gets the ball and moves into space. Maitland-Niles impressing although he did trip over his feet when he went down in the box.

16min: Maitland-Niles goes down under a challenge in the Chelsea penalty area but Anthony Taylor waves play on. Seconds later and Sanchez shoots from close range. His shot bounces off Courtois's right post and then hits the left one and goes back to the goalkeeper.

13min: Morata gets one-on-one with Cech and wastes a glorious opportunity by putting his shot wide. Chambers at fault there for allowing the pass to Morata to go over his head. Chelsea should be ahead.

12min: A fast tempo to this one. Both sides trying to break forward within seconds of regaining possession. Hazard the latest player to dart forward for Chelsea but he loses possession. The game is getting more and more stretched.

10min: Good chance for Arsenal. Sanchez gets past Kante before playing a clever ball into the box but Mesut Ozil couldn't get to the pass as it landed at the back post. A good chance for Arsenal to take the lead as Chelsea's defence looked a little ragged.

8min: Morata caught from behind by Mustafi. Late challenge but no yellow card. Fabregas and Hazard appear fresh after being given a rest. Arsenal all too aware of the problems Hazard can create.

6min: Lacazette goes down under the challenge of Moses. Arsenal free-kick outside the Chelsea penalty area. Sanchez and Ozil over it. Sanchez takes and it's deflected past the post by Cahill for a corner. Corner comes in but it's cleared.

4min: Alexis Sanchez quick to charge down Cesar Azpilicueta as the Blues defender is forced back to his goalkeeper. Arsenal will need to press high to force the errors and keep Chelsea under pressure. A good start.

2min: 'Antonio, Antonio, Antonio,' the Chelsea supporters chant. Chelsea look lively in the opening stages with Eden Hazard running into the Arsenal penalty after Calum Chambers turned his back on the Belgian.

Arsenal get us started.

Minutes away from kick-off.

Jack Wilshere makes yet another Premier League start. How his situation at Arsenal has dramatically changed over the course of this season. Once reserved for Europa League fixtures on a Thursday night, the midfielder has become an integral part of Wenger's midfield in the Premier League.

'I think he's much better. Fluidity in our game and final balls in the final third,' Wenger has just said.

Tonight is a massive game for both sides and on paper Chelsea look the stronger of the two sides. 

Ainsley Maitland-Niles hasn't started in a game this high-profile for Arsenal before and he'll need to be alert. He slots in a left wing back and is likely to be against an array of Chelsea's quick and skilful players in Hazard and Moses.

But did Wenger really have any choice? Nacho Monreal, who usually occupies that position, has been ruled out for a couple of weeks. The former Ipswich Town loanee can defend and has pace. Tonight will be touch for him but he appears to be the only current Arsenal player fit enough to fill that void in defence.

Chelsea travel to Arsenal on Wednesday evening with second place in their sights and the chance to leapfrog Manchester United acting as an incentive, while Antonio Conte's side would also move 10 points clear of Arsenal with a victory.

Arsenal, for their part, must win to revive their prospects of a top four finish. Arsene Wenger's side are six points behind fourth placed Liverpool, seven behind Chelsea and nine behind Manchester United.

Manchester City are unlikely to be caught but the race for second place is still very much on.

Manchester United's dip in form in recent weeks has allowed those behind them to catch up.

Chelsea, who haven't been beaten since early December, could go above United with a win tonight.

Arsenal disappointed away at West Brom on New Year's Eve but would overtake Tottenham into fifth with a win at home.
