EUROPA LEAGUE FINAL
CHELSEA 4-1 ARSENAL
HAPPY HAZZARD

 Emerson curls in from the left. Giroud stoops and flashes a header into the bottom left, under pressure from Koscielny. Brave, too, because Koscielny was trying to hoof clear. What a header that was! A goal out of nothing, and Giroud keeps the celebrations to a minimum against his old club.
Kovacic works well down the left, and shuttles the ball forward for Hazard, who slips a pass back inside for Pedro. A first-time swipe, and Pedro whips the ball into the bottom right, Cech with no chance.
Kovacic is allowed to dribble miles, left to right. It nearly opens up for him, but Pedro takes up possession instead, heading back to the left across the front of the box. He slips a ball down the channel for Giroud, who is clumsily bundled over by Maitland-Niles. A no-brainer for the referee.
Hazard sends Cech one way, then rolls the penalty into the left-hand side of the goal
The ball breaks to Iwobi, to the right of the D. The sub meets the dropping ball with the side of his foot, and creams a stunner into the top left, Kepa with no chance! What a goal that was! This can’t be on, can it?
Hazard wins the ball off Aubameyang near the centre circle. He bustles goalwards, then slips a pass to the left. Giroud draws his man, then chips it back into the centre for Hazard, who sweeps the ball into the bottom right
MY OPINION
This feels like it is Hazards final parting gift to a club that he has served for such a long time and it does feel that he is moving on but we all know that both Hazard and Sarri will be replaced by quality people as for Arsenal this has to be seen as a decent first season. A European final and 5th in the league it does take time to learn it.
