West Brom 0-1 Chelsea
Take a bow Antonio Conte. It took until the 82nd minute, but when Michy Batshuayi swept home tonight the title was Chelsea’s and deservedly so.
Football betting pundits looked at Chelsea in August as a possible challenger, with a Premier League rookie manager, but 36 football games later there is no doubt which is the best team in the league. No doubt at all.
A trip to the Hawthorns is never easy but betting odds pointed to this being the night when the Blues would lift the title. But it was never really vintage Chelsea as they kept on banging on the door, without really looking like breaching the well organised West Brom defence.
There was no doubt, from the first minute, that the Baggies were determined not to let Chelsea have a championship celebration on their patch; and they kept the Kings Road stars at bay for almost the whole game.
But Chelsea have been relentless all season and their fifth Premier League title was won by the unlikely figure of Batshuayi, with fewer than ten minutes remaining, as he fired home his first goal since August.
Conte went wild, the Chelsea fans went wild and the Premier league title is back in West London.
