Chelsea thrashed Arsenal 4-1 at the Baku Olympic Stadium and lifted the UEFA Europa League 2019 trophy. Eden Hazard netted a couple of goals, whereas, Olivier Giroud and Pedro smashed one for the team to lift the trophy. But what caught the eye of the fans was when Chelsea’s Rob Green who has been away from the game since 645 days lifted the trophy with his full kit on.
