Chelsea are the new Premier League champions after beating West Bromwich Albion 1-0 at The Hawthorns.

Forgotten man Michy Batshuayi was the unlikely goalscoring hero as The Blues snatched a late victory over The Baggies. West Bromwich Albion started the match well and Salomon Rondon’s looping header troubled Blues keeper Thibaut Courtois early on. Pedro went close early in the match on three occasions while defenders Gary Cahill and Cesar Azpilicueta also saw efforts go just wide. The Blues were inches away from taking the lead 20 minutes into the contest but Cahill’s fizzing effort was bravely blocked by Gareth McAuley. Cesc Fabregas struck another Chelsea effort wide as the first half ended goalless with very few clear goalscoring chances being produced. The second half started with Pedro again worrying home keeper Ben Foster but the player saw another shot go wide while Diego Costa struggled to get off a shot as he was tightly marked by the home defence. Moses then forced a superb low save from Foster with a strike across goal before Fabr

Arsenal 2-0 Man U. (Arsene Wenger wins Mourinho for first time in the league as Gunners move to the cusp of top four)

It had to take a Granit Xhaka effort and a former Man U player, Danny Welbeck's shock header for coaching veteran, Arsene Wenger to register his first career win over rival, Jose Mourinho in the premier league on Sunday evening. Jose Mourinho, started with Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, players that have been injured for almost two months to start in the center of the defence while Wayne Rooney was brought back into the fold alongside Juan Mata and young debutant Axel Tuanzebe. Wenger started with Danny Welbeck, Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez upfront while the likes of Alex Iwobi, Giroud and Theo Walcott had to settle for a spot on the bench. Swiss international, Granit Xhaka fired from 30 yards out in the second half and a nasty deflection by Ander Herrera saw the ball overtake De Gea- whose future as each second passes by, seems to lie more in Madrid than in Manchester.
