Former Gunners striker Olivier Giroud and Pedro also struck to ensure Arsenal were soundly beaten 4-1.


Maurizio Sarri was clearly relieved, given the speculation surrounding his future – and he immediately whipped out a cigar after the full-time whistle.


He will celebrate what has turned out to be a successful debut season in English football, finishing third in the Premier League and winning a European trophy.

Meanwhile, veteran goalkeeper Rob Green drew comparisons to John Terry by donning a full Chelsea kit and lifting the trophy.


Terry famously got his gear on after the 2012 Champions League final – but at least he played some sort of role during the competition.


Green, on the other hand, has not played a competitive game for 645 days.

Elsewhere, the injured Antonio Rudiger didn’t let his formal attire stop him from going full Terry too.


The German threw his Chelsea top over a smart white shirt and hobbled around on crutches during the celebrations.


Hazard took the opportunity to bid farewell to Chelsea, all-but confirming his imminent departure to Real Madrid.

“You will know in the next few days.”


The Chelsea celebrations continued in the dressing room afterwards and on the team bus, where goalscorer Giroud appeared to mock his former club Arsenal.


In an Instagram video posted by Jorginho the Frenchman could be seen holding the Europa League trophy and shouting towards the camera: ‘Thank you, Arsenal!’
