Chelsea vs Arsenal: Hector Bellerin reacts to 2-2 draw
Chelsea boss Frank Lampard slammed his players after their 2-2 draw against Arsenal on Tuesday night, insisting his players simply aren’t doing their jobs on the pitch. The Blues took the lead after 28 minutes through Jorginho from the penalty spot.
Chelsea were awarded the spot kick after former Blues star David Luiz was sent off for bringing down Tammy Abraham while he was last man.
Gabriel Martinelli equalised for Arsenal in the second half, however, Cesar Azpilicueta put the Blues back ahead with five minutes remaining.
Chelsea thought they’d won it but Hector Bellerin had other ideas, with the Spaniard cutting inside and slotting the ball past Kepa Arrizabalaga in the 87th minute.
Abraham was limping for the final minutes of the game after picking up an ankle injury, however, Chelsea didn’t put the ball out of play prior to the Gunners’ goal.

And Lampard was furious with his players, with the Chelsea boss insisting his side must be smarter.
He said: "Frustrated because you want to win. We got a goal, they went down to 10 men and we have to do better to score another goal.
"Then we didn't defend and gifted them two goals. That's people not doing their jobs which they should know. Moments like that lose you points at this level.
"We could have had three or four goals today. Having shots, crosses and lots of 'ooh' moments. We have to be clinical.
"When gameday comes you have to have the killer instinct. We've not got that at the moment.

However, the Red Devils boast a game in hand on Chelsea, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men hosting Burnley on Wednesday night.
Jorginho echoed his managers thoughts, with the midfielder insisting the draw feels like a loss: "We feel like we lost the game. We had the game in our hands then in the last second conceded a goal when we shouldn't. It's hard. We need to move forward.
"I don't think it's confidence because we played well and were controlling the game.
"Something about concentration maybe. In these kind of games, you lose in moments. We made mistakes. That is it.
"These big games are like these. You can win and lose the game in the details."
