The night of the consecration for Maurizio Sarri, the man left from afar and now on the roof of Europe. His Chelsea beat Arsenal 4-1 in the all-European Europa League derby and gave them a fantastic evening, with a wide smile and many greetings to the critics rained on him in recent months.
Sarri gives confidence to the men of Europe: Kovacic in the median, Giroud first point supported by Pedro, impossible to give up Jorginho in directing. Emery responds with the inevitable Aubameyang-Lacazette couple and with Ozil’s imagination behind him.
First fraction without too many shakes: Xhaka touches the goal putting the chills to Chelsea, the Blues respond with Emerson, Giroud and the flames of Hazard, but a question mark remains on Lacazette, touched by Kepa in a face to face between the two. Rocchi, sure, doesn’t whistle.
The teams do not change in the second half, but the result immediately changes: they pass 3 ‘and Giroud signs the lead advantage anticipating all, then it is Pedro to double ten minutes later. L ‘Arsenal, who had also tried the reaction after the first goal conceded, does not have enough weapons to stand up and capitulates after the rigor of Hazard. The Belgian is precise and closes the race already at 65 ‘with a set, maybe the last goal before the farewell to Real. The last to surrender for the Gunners is Iwobi, but his will be the flag’s net, useful only for statistics, as well as poker signed by Hazard again.
It is a sarrian blaze in Baku. The former Napoli coach raises his cup and takes his personal revenge after the last agitated days. Whether or not it is goodbye to Chelsea, the first English season ends with goals centered and the first cup of his career. And an unforgettable night with an extra Europa League return to London.
