Europa League: Giroud hat-trick sends Chelsea into last eight

Olivier Giroud scored a hat-trick as Chelsea romped past Dynamo Kiev in the Europa League.

The Blues led 3-0 from the first leg at Stamford Bridge last week and Maurizio Sarri used the opportunity to rest some of his big names in Ukraine.

That didn’t matter though as Giroud scored the opener inside five minutes as his side took a 4-0 aggregate lead.

The French striker then added a second before Marcos Alonso got in on the act before the break.

Dynamo pushed forward in a desperate attempt to get back into it and Giroud made them pay as he grabbed his hat-trick.

There was still time for Callum Hudson-Odoi to get in on the act as he made it 5-0 on the night, and 8-0 on aggregate.
