| Europa League Champions -- Chelsea Fc |
The Gunners started very well, as they move the ball around within the first quarter in the first 45 minutes, Chelsea FC stood it's ground and came in stronger in the second half with three goals in quick succession.
Olivier Giroud, ex-Arsenal forward, who made 253 appearances during his six years at the Emirates, broke the goalless deadlock with a wonderful header in the 49th minute before Pedro doubled Chelsea's lead as a result of continuous pressure from Chelsea afterward.
The victory by Chelsea end Arsenal's hopes of Champions League football next season, and the goal from Olivier Giroud gave a boost.
With Arsenal unraveling, Eden Hazard was on hand to add a third, dispatching an expert penalty after Giroud was fouled in the box.
Arsenal's Alex Iwobi did produce a moment of inspiration upon coming in as substitute, smashing a shot into the top corner, but it proved little more than a consolation after Hazard added a fourth following a sweeping counter-attack by Chelsea.
The victory, gave Chelsea FC the trophy as they wore the crown as Champions of the 2018/2019 season of Europa League Competition.
