Wenger: Arsenal sad in Baku; we collapsed

Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has hit out at Unai Emery's team for their Europa League final thrashing by Chelsea last week.

The Gunners were thumped 4-1 by the Blues in Baku.

Wenger, who managed the Gunners for 22 years, told beIN Sports: "I felt that in the first half we did quite alright but as soon as Chelsea scored the first goal we collapsed completely.

"In the second half we didn't exist. It was a sad night for us."

The Gunners finished the season in fifth place - so qualifying again for the Europa League.
