Chelsea and Arsenal met in the final of the 2019 UEFA Europa League in Baku, Azerbaijan. Chelsea won the match 4-1, with goals from Olivier Giroud, Pedro, and Eden Hazard (2). This was Chelsea's second Europa League title and their first major European trophy since winning the Champions League in 2012.
The match was a close affair in the first half, with both teams having chances to score. However, Chelsea took control of the game in the second half and scored four goals to seal the victory.
Chelsea's victory was a major boost for manager Maurizio Sarri, who had been under pressure after a disappointing Premier League campaign. It also gave Chelsea a place in the 2019 UEFA Super Cup, which they lost to Liverpool on penalties.
Arsenal's defeat was a major disappointment for manager Unai Emery, who had led the team to the final of the Europa League in his first season in charge. However, Arsenal did qualify for the 2019-20 UEFA Champions League by finishing fifth in the Premier League.
