Friday, 10 May 2019 09:34

Chelsea and Arsenal are through to the finals of the Europa League.

The Blues edged past Eintracht Frankfurt 4-3 on penalties last night while the Gunners won easily in Valencia for a 7-3 aggregate victory.

It means that both the Champions League and Europa League final will be played between English clubs this season after Liverpool and Tottenham completed remarkable comebacks in their semi-final ties earlier this week.

It’s the first time all four finalists in Europe's top two competitions have come from one country.

Chelsea and Arsenal will meet in the Europa League final in Baku on May 29.

Meanwhile Liverpool and Tottenham lock horns in the Champions League final in Madrid on June 1.
