    Emphatic. The Champions have won a record 30th game and said goodbye to John Terry in style.

    It's been emotional.

    Michy Batshuayi

    He's done it again! Make that five goals in three games for Michy Batshuayi, who fires home into the top corner following Fabregas' pass.

    What a way to sign off a title-winning season!

    Cake, say hello to a cherry on top.

    Michy Batshuayi makes it three goals in three games at the end of the season with a close-range finish after latching on to Pedro's pass.

    Diego Costa is enjoying himself down on the Chelsea bench. He has his cap on, entertaining some of the players not involved in the game. All the hard work has been down. Time to bask in the achievement.

    Speaking of which, Antonio Conte responds to his name being sung with applause to all sides. Popular man.

    Pedro

    Signed, sealed, delivered. A record 30th win it is for Chelsea.

    Pedro is the scorer, but the architect is the unfortunate Joleon Lescott, whose full Sunderland debut is tarnished by a backward header over his own keeper from a long ball forward from Fabregas to set Pedro up for a simple nodded finish.

    Sunderland are chasing shadows. This is a meek way for their Premier League stay to come to an end.

    Pedro lines up a shot but flashes it well wide from range.

  9. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 70 mins

    A standing ovation for Eden Hazard, who departs to be replaced by Pedro. He has had a great season after a shocker the campaign before.

    Oh, so nearly an own goal. Victor Moses turns one way and then the next before firing over a cross that is flashed past the post and behind by the swinging boot of Jack Rodwell. The corner comes to nothing.

    This is interesting. Diego Costa leaves the field with waves to all sides of the ground. Could that be an 'thanks lads, I'm off'? There has been plenty of rumours linking him with a move to China.

    He might not have signed off with a goal, but his final act was to set up Hazard's goal. Not a bad silver medal.

    Michy Batshuayi replaces him.

    Sunderland also make a change, sending on Lynden Gooch for Adnan Januzaj.

    Eden! Great goal! The control from Diego Costa is superb, his pass precise and Eden Hazard does the rest, finding space before lashing a fierce shot across goal and in to the far corner. Brilliant.

    We're going to see Michy Batshuayi soon. He is stripped and ready to go.

  14. Postpublished at 57 mins

    Chelsea 1-1 Sunderland

    This is much more like it from Moses, who drives in to the box, past a man, and then fires a low cross right across the face of goal and just in front of the diving David Luiz.

    Sunderland have barely been out of their own half since the break. Or before it, for that matter.

    Victor Moses won't want to see this shot again. He cuts in from the left and slices his shot out for a throw-in on the far side. Not quite Geoff Thomas against France but pretty bad.

    Final Score pundits Kevin Kilbane, Martin Keown and Garth Crooks seem bemused after John Terry is granted a guard of honour at Stamford Bridge during their match against Sunderland.

    Courtois to the rescue. Sunderland threaten from a corner as the ball is swung in and met by the head of Jack Rodwell, but the home keeper is down quickly to palm away.

    This is the tackle of a man who has been done like a kipper. Billy Jones upends Eden Hazard after the Belgian jinks away from him.

  20. 'Chelsea are worthy champions'published at 15:57 British Summer Time 21 May 2017

    Chelsea v Sunderland (15:00 BST)

    Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore on BBC Sportsweek: “Chelsea have given us a coaching masterclass in many ways. If you think where they were in September, nobody could see what was then going to happen.

    “Through they have come, they have played brilliantly and the coach has been fantastic to watch – the enthusiasm – and when they take that trophy today no one is going to deny they are very worthy champions.”
