Chelsea win Europa League after Eden Hazard inspires thrashing of Arsenal

Chelsea’s Gary Cahill, Cesar Azpilicueta and teammates celebrate winning the Europa League. 

Cesar Azpilicueta and the outgoing Gary Cahill lift the Europa League trophy! As Queen blasts from the PA, the Europa League champions hand the silverware to their manager. Yesterday he was kicking his cap around in frustration; today he’s hoisting the cup in celebration. What a difference a day makes! Quite literally in this final, given there wasn’t much between the two teams in the first half, but an absolute chasm after the clock ticked past midnight. It’s lovely to see Sarri’s joy after the difficult season he’s had. A European trophy, third place in the Premier League and a domestic cup final ... it wasn’t too bad in the end, was it?
