Arsenal History: How Unai Emery tainted his Europa League record against Chelsea in 2019

range. The South Londoners were then handed a cheap penalty which sent Petr Cech the wrong way on his line, making it 3-0. Arsenal tried to crawl their way back into the game when just before the 70th minute mark Iwobi stroked in a magnificent half volley from outside the box which hit the far side of goal impressively. However Chelsea were just too good for the slow out of the block Gunners, where after some sloppy defending in the box Hazard grabbed a second to finish off the 4-1 spanking over Arsenal!

In his post match interview Emery who had never been beaten in a Europa League final admitted it all went downhill after Chelsea broke the scoreboard “the first goal changed all.”

Arsenal are yet to appear in a European final since 2019 but maybe all will change this coming season in the Champions League?
