Chelsea secured the Premier League title yesterday evening with a 1-0 victory over West Brom, and as expected, everyone went absolutely wild.
As Michy Batshuayi found the back of the net in the 83rd minute, Conte celebrated in characteristically jubilant fashion – and who can blame him?

That goal proved to be enough to take Chelsea over the line, and when Conte returned to the away dressing room, he received an absolute soaking from his players.

The Italian changed into dry clothes and attended the post-match press conference. However, David Luiz and Diego Costa were not prepared to let Conte miss out on the celebrations, and subsequently removed him, by force, from the room.

Conte was not alone in celebrating our title triumph. The players stayed on the field after full-time to celebrate with the travelling fans. The away support last night really was something else, and they were rewarded for it.

As you might expect, the celebrations continued into the dressing room, as the Chelsea squad, and a half-naked Diego Costa, reminded everyone of what they are – champions.

The jubilation was not confined to the Hawthorns, however. Back in London, Chelsea fans went absolutely crazy when Batshuayi found the back of the net, before taking their celebrations to the streets.

What a time to be a Chelsea fan. Under Conte’s stewardship, this may well be the first of many.
