Hazard says ‘goodbye’ after Chelsea run riot against Arsenal

Chelsea claimed the Europa League title with a dominant second-half display against Arsenal on Wednesday.

Eden Hazard weighed in with a couple of goals as the Blues ran out 4-1 winners. Olivier Giroud and Pedro were also on target, while Alex Iwobi grabbed Arsenal’s consolation.

Hazard was superb for Chelsea after the break in what is likely to be his final game for the club. The Belgian told reporters after the game that he thinks “it is goodbye”, with a move to Real Madrid expected to be confirmed this summer.

The result means a third consecutive season without Champions League football for Arsenal – their longest spell out of Europe’s top tournament since the 1990s.
