CHELSEA CLINCH ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE TITTLE IN GRAND STYLE

London  Club Chelsea FC have comfortably secured the 2014/2015 English Premier League tittle with three game to wrap up the season with a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace. There had been an air of inevitability for several weeks but Sunday Chelsea completed the task and duly clinched the English Premier League title with a 1-0 home win over Crystal Palace.

 

Man City was playing later in the afternoon but the three points took the west London side into an unassailable advantage over the defending champion and third-placed Arsenal. However, it was PFA Player of the Year Eden Hazard who scored the only goal of the match just before halftime after winning a penalty.

 

It was not without controversy, as there appeared to be very little contact when the Belgian international went sprawling in the area under a challenge from James McArthur. Hazard got up to take the spot kick, his weak effort was saved by Julian Speroni, but he scored with a header on the rebound. It was Hazard's only miss from ten penalties he has taken in the EPL this season, but his 14th goal of the campaign was the crucial statistic and enough to take Jose Mourinho's men over the winning line.
