Batshuayi mental! Conte makes the right call again to clinch the title for Chelsea

The Blues forward has barely been seen during his debut season but will now go down in history as the man to seal the Blues's sixth English title

ANALYSIS

Eden Hazard, Diego Costa and Pedro seemed the stars most likely to step up and provide the moment that secured Antonio Conte's first title as Chelsea manager. But it was an unlikely figure in Michy Batshuayi who emerged from the shadows and confirmed the inevitable.

Batshuayi has suffered an awful season in west London in his first year with the club, but he will feel that all his time on the training pitch have been vindicated after he was called upon in the 75th minute.
