Alex Iwobi's stunner not enough as Chelsea thrash Arsenal to win Europa League

Alex Iwobi scored a consolation goal as Chelsea hammered Arsenal 4-1 to win the 2018-19 Uefa Europa League trophy on Wednesday night.

After a goalless first half at the Olympic Stadium, the Blues started the second 45 minutes on a flying note with Olivier Giroud breaking the deadlock in the 49th minute before Pedro and Eden Hazard stretched the lead in the 60th and 65th-minute respectively.

With Unai Emery's side trailing 3-0, Iwobi was brought on for Lucas Torreira in the 67th minute. Two minutes later, he justified his introduction with a stunning effort from outside of the penalty area.
