The London derby between Chelsea and Arsenal on Wednesday ended in a 2-2 draw after a stoppage-time goal by Hector Bellerin helped the Gunners come from behind to share the points and that certainly left Chelsea manager Antonio Conte disappointed.

“It was an exciting game for the people who watch. Less so for us because when you are winning 2-1 and there are two minutes to go, we have to win the game, especially against a great team like Arsenal. A 2-2 draw against Arsenal at Emirates could be a good result but after the game there is a lot of disappointment because we created important chances,” said Conte at the post-match press conference.

According to the official website of Chelsea, Conte said, “For sure I know also in my players there is a lot of disappointment and for sure my feeling is the same as my players. It was a good performance and we played with good intensity, like Arsenal did and it was an exciting game, but at the same time we must be a bit disappointed with the final result because to get three points today was very important.”

The result leaves Chelsea with 46 points from 22 matches, one point behind second-place Manchester United and 16 behind league leaders Manchester City.

On his opinion on the penalty decision which led to Hazard making it 1-1, Conte said it was frustration for a coach during a game, but all should try to accept every decision. “I must be honest, I did not see the penalty. We must have great respect for the decision of the referee. There is frustration for a coach during a game and after a game but we must try to accept every decision, even if we do not agree with the referee or the linesmen.”

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois said his side was frustrated to leave north London with only a point. “Obviously we are disappointed. It was a game with chances on both sides. We missed a big moment with Alvaro and then I made two great saves. We go in at half-time 0-0 and second half, I think we started okay, we had two chances Petr [Cech] saved well and I saved well from Lacazette but we were unlucky with the corner, the ball went to Wilshere and it was a rocket, I couldn’t save that,” he said, according to www.chelsea.com.
