Arsenal fans have been left relying on Europa League glory to secure a spot in next season's Champions League after falling short in the Premier League.
The Gunners travelled to Baku knowing that anything less than a victory would leave Unai Emery's side set for another season outside of Europe's elite competition and things didn't quite go to plan.
After a quiet first half, Arsenal fell behind early after the restart as Olivier Giroud headed past former teammate Petr Cech to give Chelsea a valuable lead and left the Gunners on the edge of heartbreak.
Seeing Giroud net the opening goal of the game was even more painful for Arsenal fans as he used to be one of their heroes and they could not hide their feelings as they took to social media to react to what could be a decisive goal.
