Chelsea beat Arsenal 4-1 in the finals of the Europa League to lift the trophy in Baku, Azerbaijan.


The two English sides went head to head in a game many expected to be cagey and tough.

The first few minutes saw Arsenal dictate play but Chelsea came in strong as the first half ended 0-0.

Former Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud scored in the 49th minute as he beautifully connected with a cross from Emerson.

Pedro made it 2-0 to Chelsea in the 60th minute as he side-footed a pass from Hazard into the net.

Hazard scored from the spot kick five minutes later to make it 3-0 before substitute Iwobi scored a stunner to reduce the deficit.

Hazard scored his second and Chelsea's fourth to make it 4-1. Arsenal goalkeeper Peter Cech made some crucial saves to prevent Chelsea from adding more goals.
