Chelsea regained the Premier League title as Michy Batshuayi came off the bench to earn a 1-0 victory over West Brom at The Hawthorns on Friday.
Following Monday's comfortable 3-0 win at home to Middlesbrough, Antonio Conte's side knew just three points were needed to ensure the trophy would return to Stamford Bridge and, in keeping with their efforts throughout much of the season, the Blues delivered when it mattered.
Hazard and Pedro had been smartly shackled by the Baggies' resolute backline, so much so that Conte substituted his star playmakers and replaced them with Willian and Batshuayi, the latter of whom stabbed home the decisive goal eight minutes from time.
Conte's celebration was typically frantic and the victory was just reward for the Italian, who has masterminded the Blues' ascent in his debut campaign, helping to put to bed memories of last season's dismal defence of the 2014-15 crown.
