Internet Desk: Chelsea beats West Bromwoch Albion by 1-0 and The illusive Premier League trophy returns to Stamford Bridge.  At West Brom, the Antonio Conte’s team won 1-0 through a late goal in a highly competitive game from Michy Batshuayi to win the league crown in Antonio Conte’s maiden season in charge. In a match that was back and forth but lacked quality chances, the Belgian striker was able to put one away from close, capitalizing on West Brom’s sloppy play at the back.

The all important goal arrived on 82 minute, with the substitute striker pouncing on a lovely assist from Cesar Azpilicueta.

That goal was just enough to clinch the league crown. Entering the day with a seven-point lead over Tottenham, Chelsea didn’t want to wait to lift the trophy. Instead, they celebrate at the Hawthorns, with an unlikely hero saving the day.Chelsea youngster Batshuayi joined the London based club from Marseille in the summer but hasn’t done much. Friday was his 18th appearance for the club, and just his second goal of the league campaign. But with that, he gets his first team trophy and returns Chelsea to the summit of the Premier League.
