'In England, never' - Conte rejects Wenger's Alonso foul claims

The Chelsea boss has brushed off any suggestion that his Spanish wing-back fouled Hector Bellerin to open the scoring in a 3-1 win over Arsenal

Antonio Conte dismissed suggestions Marcos Alonso fouled Hector Bellerin when opening the scoring in Chelsea's 3-1 win over Arsenal and hailed a masterclass from Eden Hazard.

Alonso reacted sharply, if robustly, when charging in to head into an unguarded net after Diego Costa hit the Arsenal crossbar after 13 minutes.

The wing-back got the better of a stationary Bellerin, who was struck by Alonso's arm in the challenge and had to be substituted shortly afterwards.
