Eden Hazard has revealed what Maurizio Sarri‘s said during his half-time team-talk to inspire Chelsea to Europa League glory after a 4-1 victory over Arsenal in Baku.
The two London clubs, perhaps affected by the strange atmosphere in Azerbaijan, played out a drab first-half which rendered no goals and very few shots on goal.
But Sarri’s men came bursting out of the blocks after the break and scored three goals in the space of 17 minutes through Olivier Giroud and Pedro, before Hazard slotted home a penalty.
Alex Iwobi’s stunning strike proved to be only a consolation as the Belgian added a late fourth, combining brilliantly with Giroud to sweep home and cap a fairytale ending to his seven-year career with the club.
