Wenger still riled by Hazard penalty award

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger continues to claim Eden Hazard cheated to win a penalty in last week's Premier League draw with Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium.

Hazard went down under a challenge from Hector Bellerin, the Blues winger picking himself up to convert the resulting penalty in a thrilling 2-2 draw.

Wenger repeatedly labelled the decision by match official Anthony Taylor "farcical" after the game and he will face Hazard again on Wednesday, with the Gunners taking on Chelsea in the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final.

Hazard has been passed fit after he was left out of Saturday's 0-0 FA Cup draw at Norwich City due to a minor calf injury and Wenger, who is serving a three-match touchline ban as a result of separate comments about Premier League refereeing, continued to criticise the Belgian.
