Eden Hazard's Brace Guides Chelsea Past Arsenal in 2019 Europa League Final

Chelsea defeated Arsenal 4-1 to win the 2019 UEFA Europa League final in Baku, Azerbaijan, on Wednesday.

The Blues turned on the style in the second half as they crushed their Premier League rivals to claim the trophy.

Olivier Giroud expertly headed home shortly after half-time to open the scoring and Pedro made it 2-0 on the hour mark.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles clattered Giroud to concede a penalty five minutes later, and Hazard made it three for Chelsea on the night from the penalty spot.

Alex Iwobi's impressive strike gave Unai Emery's side hope after 69 minutes but Hazard grabbed his brace seconds later to make it a convincing scoreline.
