Sing up, Chelsea… Captain Cahill, Batman and Dave won the Premier League

The Belgium striker, a £33million signing from Marseille last summer, made his 18th Premier League appearance off the bench and finally showed his poacher’s instinct, seven minutes later, with his second league goal to delight Chelsea and Conte.

On a tricky night for Chelsea, it was Conte’s decision to withdraw a disappionting Eden Hazard for Batshuayi which proved crucial when the 23-year-old popped up six-yards out to turn home Cesar Azpilicueta’s low driven cross.

“It wasn’t easy for me to arrive in England and try different habits, a different language and inherit players after a bad season”, Conte said.

Tottenham have only three matches available to them and the maximum points they can accumulate are 86 – one less than Chelsea’s current points tally of 87 with two games to go.

There was an element of good fortune about Terry’s goal on his first league start since September.

“We’ve worked together only for nine months and I think if you continue with these players you can improve a lot now they know my ideas”.

Spurs lost at West Ham 1-0 last week to give Chelsea three opportunities to clinch the league.

Antonio Conte and Walter Mazzarri have met eight times in league competition as managers, with Mazzari only coming out on top once – this was in their first meeting (Atalanta 0-2 Napoli in January 2010).

The double could follow if Chelsea can beat Arsenal in the FA Cup final on May 27.

“But in this moment I found the strength to change and take responsibility and find a system for the players”.

“I think in every season there are moments you have to find always the right solution”, Conte added. And Luiz knows Chelsea must maintain momentum.

I desperately tried to come up with something really clever to sing, but the best I could do, is, to the tune “Ee-Aye-Adio”, “We’ve won the League, we’ve won the league, Ee-Aye-Batshuayi, we’ve won the League”.

“We haven’t come this far to lose now, and what the manager stressed before the Watford game and again at half-time is let’s be the first team to win 30 Premier League games”.

“It’s wonderful to celebrate something with the fans, especially when the game was so hard”.

They say we were lazy.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich will make Antonio Conte the highest-paid manager in the club’s history as reward for winning the Premier League title, according to reports.
