Former Chelsea coach Ray Wilkins feels Arsenal fullback Hector Bellerin's progress is waning.

Bellerin gave away a controversial penalty in Arsenal's 2-1 loss to Watford after being adjudged to have fouled Richarlison.

“What I would say is when I first saw this young man Bellerin come into English football, three, four years ago, he had dynamic pace," Wilkins said.

“He was all over the pitch and I thought 'my word, Arsene's dug up one there, what a footballer'.

“He wouldn't have been beaten in that situation by Richarlison.

“Richarlison gets the final touch, there is minimal contact and he goes over, but unfortunately minimal contact in the modern-day game can mean a penalty kick.

“Bellerin for me has gone slightly backwards from the player I first saw three or four years ago."
