Hazard powers Chelsea to victory over Arsenal

London: A brace from Eden Hazard powered Chelsea to a 4-1 victory over Premier League rivals Arsenal in the 2019 Europa League Final at the Olympic Stadium in Baku, Azerbaijan.
A relatively uneventful first half that Arsenal mostly controlled gave way to a goal-filled second stanza, in which Olivier Giroud and Pedro scored before Real Madrid target Hazard added a pair of goals that sandwiched Arsenal's consolation score from Alex Iwobi.
It marks the second time that Chelsea have won the Europa League, the first coming back in 2012-13. It also provides manager Maurizio Sarri with a trophy in his Chelsea finale, with the Italian expected to depart Stamford Bridge.
