English Premier League Chelsea win league title with 3 matches remaining

Chelsea have won the English Premier League with three matches to go after defeating Crystal Palace by a lone goal.

Jose Mourinho's men were up against a pragmatic Crystal Palace side, but an Eden Hazard penalty was all they needed to seal a win and a first league title in five eyars.

After threading a pass to Willan, the Chelsea number 10 collected a return pass and attempted to wriggle into the box.

While trying to tackle, McArthur made contact with Hazard who fell to earn a penalty.

The Belgian picked himself up to take the penalty.

His first effort which was tame was saved by Speroni, but Hazard pounced on the rebound to score Chelsea's only goal of the game.

Alan Pardew men were however up for a fight as Chelsea tried without success to get the second.

Ivanovic dragged his effort wide, Speroni denied a John Obi-Mikel effort, while WIllian's effort went wide after dancing past a couple of defenders.

Palace als had their own chances, but Puncheon effort narrowly missed target while Thibaut Courtois was sharp to save at the feet of Wilfried Zaha.

In the usual Jose Mourinho style, Chelsea ended the game with six recognised defenders on the pitch, plus two defensive midfielders.

They remained resolute and protected their one goal lead and now they are EPL Champions.
