Europa League top scorers: Giroud extends lead over Aubameyang in race for Golden Boot

Arsenal and Chelsea are both looking to finish the season with some silverware as they meet in Europa League final tonight.

The Blues have seen off the likes of Frankfurt and Slavia Prague on the way to the showpiece clash, with Olivier Giroud racking up a host of goals on the path to Baku.

And the Frenchman extended his lead in the top scorer standings after a brave header at the Olympic Stadium, notching his 13th of the campaign beyond former team-mate Petr Cech.

Aubameyang is not far behind after strikes in victories against Rennes and Valencia, but the Gabon frontman has plenty to do if he wants to overhaul Giroud and lift the Golden Boot.
