Gunners boss Wenger felt Marcos Alonso's aerial challenge on Bellerin constituted dangerous play as the wing-back arrived at pace and caught the Spain international with his arm as he headed home.

Bellerin made way on medical advice shortly afterwards and second-half goals from Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas effectively ended Arsenal's title ambitions.
