Chelsea captured the English Premier League title for a fifth time after scoring a dramatic late victory away to west Bromwich Albion on Friday Night.

The blues were made to work hard on the night by a resolute west Brom.

However substitute Michy Batshuayi scored in the 82nd minute to secure the vital win, sliding in to turn home Cesar Azpilicueta’s cut-back from close range.

Chelsea had needed only two wins from their final four matches to take the trophy.

They convincingly beat Middlesbrough 3-nil on Monday and wrapped things up with victory at the hawthorns.

Only Manchester United with 13 have won more Premier League titles.

They are the first club to win the English top-flight title on a Friday since arsenal at Anfield in 1989.
