Chelsea made its season on Wednesday and managed to break the campaign of rival Arsenal. In the Europa League final in Baku, Azerbaijan, the Blues scored four times in the second half, including two goals from Eden Hazard, to beat Arsenal 4-1 and lift the trophy. Winning the cup final gives the Blues their first trophy under coach Maurizio Sarri and his first as a coach, and it also keeps their London rival out of the Champions League next season.

Having already qualified for the UCL through their top-four finish in the Premier League, the Blues had just the trophy at stake, while Arsenal had much more. The Gunners needed the win to qualify after finishing fifth in the Premier League.
A 0-0 score at the break left everything to play for in the second half, but the Blues found their creativity and scoring touch to score four times in the first 27 minutes of the second half, with Olivier Giroud and Pedro getting the first two before Hazard put the game away for good.
