Chelsea have won the Europa League after beating Arsenal 4-1 in the final in Baku.

All five goals came in an action-packed second-half, with Olivier Giroud opening the scoring for the Blues in the 49th minute. 

Eden Hazard then set up Pedro Rodriguez (60") for Chelsea's second, before grabbing a double of his own, including a penalty,  either side of Alex Iwobi's (69") consolation for the Gunners.

The defeat means Arsenal will miss out on Champions League football again next season.
