    Donald: Credit to Conte for taking Chelsea from 10th to 1st. All doubters have now been turned into believers.

    Betiku Victor: Conte has been in Italy all his life as player and coach. He should naturally struggle anywhere else but he's been topclass

    Ellie Di Fiore: Mazzari & Watford EPL champions 2017/2018... maybe just maybe worth a bet next season....?

    He did. And he was key to both campaigns.

    Forget that Chelsea just won the league, Kante just won it TWICE IN A ROW! LEGEND!

    West Brom manager Tony Pulis speaking about Chelsea's title win on BBC Match of the Day: "They're worthy champions alright. They had a poor start, and Conte had to change things. He's made it his team. Italian teams are tactically organised and well run. He changed their shape and they've been superb from that moment onwards."

    Chelsea

    Chelsea captain Gary Cahill speaking to Match of the Day: "It feels amazing. It is a special moment. I thought we deserved it over the season. We worked very hard and have been the better team. It is fantastic to wrap it up with a couple of games to go, it is very difficult in this league. 

    "We didn't want this to drag on. We had the opportunity today to win the league and it was a pinch yourself moment in the tunnel before we went out. 

    "We played maybe a bit nervy because we knew what was at stake but showed experience in the end and wore them down. 

    "We felt confident in the dressing room all season. There is a danger you start believing you are champions when you are not. 

    "The league is in the bag, it is an amazing achievement for everyone involved. These are moments you need to cherish. I can't wait to get my hands on that trophy."

    West Brom manager Tony Pulis told BBC Match of the Day: "We didn't need Chelsea to get a bit of luck. We needed to have the breaks go for us. We contained them well. No one can say they had an easy game. Yes, we lack certain things but I’ve got a great group of players. They’ve got big hearts and big lungs. They're very deflated in there and they gave it a go.

    "We'll move on to Man City. The players have had a wonderful season. We’ve had a turn-around at the club this season. People are more upbeat, but we need to improve next year."

    "We talked a lot about the manager already, he is fantastic and we work a lot in training. Full credit to him and the players. We lost to Arsenal and then we went on an unbelievable run.

    "That's when we said that we can win the league."

    Asked about manager Antonio Conte, Luiz said: "He likes to work, works with passion every day I am happy for him. He deserves it because he is working hard every day.

    It's all about next season and Chelsea imposing themselves on the Champions League.

    They have a good balance between a tight defence and flair up front.

    Watford manager Walter Mazzarri: "I am very happy with the performance because my players gave everything. I am not concerned because I have seen a lot of Everton games. They have won 12 of 18 games at home this season, and rarely have a team put them under the pressure we managed today. 

    "I congratulated all the players on their effort in the dressing room. We did not deserve to lose. We deserved a draw at least."

    Conte already had winners in his ranks. They lost their way last season and watching them last year they were unrecognisable. He has come in and reinvigorated them.

    Conte, what I like about him is he gave Moses a chance and trusted him. He has made him a better player and a Premier League champion.

    They are the little nuggets he brings that make him so special.

    Everton manager Ronald Koeman: "I am really proud of the players' record at home this season with 13 wins in the 19 games. We did not have the aggression and intensity in the first half, but we were better after the break. 

    "Ross's goal is what we need, more goals from midfield. We hope that he will sign the contract, but it is not up to me, or the board, it is up to the player. We have offered Ross a really good contract. We cannot wait until the summer, until August.

    "I am really happy. I think that we have had a really good season, finishing behind the big six in the Premier League. We need to do better away from home, but that is for next season."
