With Chelsea scoreless at West Bromwich Albion on Friday and looking like it would squander the first of three opportunities to regain the trophy, Conte made the bold decision to remove star winger Eden Hazard and introduce substitute Michy Batshuayi, a player with just one goal to his name all season. The Italian became the fourth manager — after Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti and Manuel Pellegrini — to win the Premier League in his first season in English soccer, and he was thrown in the air by his celebrating players in joyous scenes after the final whistle. They have scored more goals than any other side in England’s top flight, 76 to be precise, and they have only been as prolific as that in one other season — during the 2009/10 campaign when they ended up with 103 goals to their name. “The beauty of football,” Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas said, “a player who didn’t play a lot scores the winning goal for the championship.”

Batshuayi’s 82nd-minute strike was only his second league goal, and first since August, in a tough first season in England. Media playback is not supported on this device Full-time scenes as Chelsea seal title
