Chelsea star Hazard: 'We don't need a replay, it was a penalty'

Eden Hazard has no doubt about whether Anthony Taylor was right to award him a penalty against Arsenal on Wednesday night.

The Chelsea star was clipped by Hector Bellerin in the box with Arsenal up 1-0.

Hazard appeared to make the most out of Bellerin's knick and Taylor pointed to the spot.

The Belgian cooly netted the spot-kick right down the middle of the goal past Petr Cech.

"We don't need a replay, it was a penalty," Hazard told Sky Sports.

"Petr is a great goalkeeper, it is always hard to score against him but I put the ball in the net and that was the most important thing."

The match ended 2-2 when Hector Bellerin equalised for the Gunners in stoppage time.
