Chelsea secured the Premier League title for the second time in three seasons as substitute Michy Batshuayi scored late to supply a 1-0 win at West Brom on Friday night.

West Brom had frustrated Chelsea for 82 minutes before Batshuayi forced the ball over the line with a sliding shot to give Chelsea an insurmountable 10-point lead over Tottenham atop the table.

Chelsea only needed three points from their final three games to clinch the championship, but manager Antonio Conte wanted to secure the trophy at the earliest opportunity and Batshuayi was an unlikely hero at The Hawthorns.

Batshuayi was not even among the substitutes in Chelsea's last game on Monday and is still waiting to make a Premier League start.

The Belgium striker, a £33 million signing from Marseille last summer, made his 18th league appearance off the bench and finally showed his poacher's instinct, seven minutes later, with his second league goal to send Chelsea and Conte delirious.

After securing their sixth English title -- fifth in the Premier League era -- Chelsea will seek to complete a double in Conte's first season by winning the FA Cup final against Arsenal on May 27.
