Bukayo Saka claims he 'had to go down' to win Arsenal a late penalty in their 4-2 triumph at Chelsea because Cesar Azpilicueta 'was holding me for five seconds'... and admits Blues captain is 'going to be angry' with controversial call

Bukayo Saka claimed he 'had to go down' after a tussle with Cesar Azpilicueta to win and score a late penalty in Arsenal's 4-2 triumph at Chelsea.

The Gunners picked up a stunning victory at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night, taking the lead twice in the first half through Eddie Nketiah and Emile Smith-Rowe before equalisers from Timo Werner and Azpilicueta pegged them back.

After the break Nketiah then added his second to edge them back in front, which looked like proving the winner until Saka netted a stoppage-time penalty to seal the three points.
