The Chelsea defender insists he never meant to harm his fellow Spaniard and believes he merely 'jumped a bit higher' than the Arsenal full-back
Marcos Alonso maintains that he did nothing wrong in opening the scoring for Chelsea in their 3-1 victory over Arsenal on Saturday.
The Spaniard reacted quickest to seeing a Diego Costa header cannon off the crossbar, rising above Hector Bellerin to nod home.
He did, however, clatter into the Gunners full-back in getting to the ball, leading to his fellow countryman leaving the field.
Arsene Wenger later revealed that Bellerin had been left concussed by the challenge, with it his opinion that the match officials should not have allowed the effort to stand.
