Europa League Final Half-Time Report: Chelsea 0-0 Arsenal…Xhaka hits crossbar as Cech pulls fine save to deny Giroud

The two Premier League clubs ended the first half goalless, with both keepers forced into action in this Europa League final in Baku.

Chelsea have certainly had more control in the last 10 minutes or so, with Arsenal having had the better of proceedings before that.

Xhaka has hit the crossbar from range, while at the other end, Cech had to pull off a fine save to deny Giroud an opener in what has been a tightly contested encounter so far.

There is certainly plenty of room for improvement from both sides after the interval.

Sarri could perhaps urge his side to have a bit more conviction in attack, while Emery will need to find a way to get Ozil, Aubameyang and Lacazette more involved in the final third.
