Arsenal were on Saturday defeated by three goals to one at the Stamford Bridge.

Marcos Alonso put the hosts in front via a controversial goal. He contested an air ball with Arsenal defender Bellerin and seem to elbow his opponent in the process of heading the ball into the net.

Speaking after the game, Chelsea boss Antonio Conte said:

"It was an important game. I consider Arsenal one of the six teams that can fight for the title until the end of the season. To put them 12 points behind is very important for us.

"In four days we have had two games against two great teams. I think we are showing we deserve to stay on top of the table. I am very pleased for my players. In every session they show me great attitude and great will to fight and win this league."

Was the first goal a foul? "In England never. No."

On Hazard's individual goal: "Hazard shows always quality. I am pleased for him. Today his performance was very good with the ball. But I want to underline without the ball because he worked a lot for the team. When he plays this way he is a complete player."

"I must be crazy to think this would be the situation now. Our start wasn't good for many reasons. Only through work and great ability of the players has shown you can change the situation."
