It was Moses first Premier League title with Chelsea since joining the team from Wigan Athletic.

Despite ending the first half goalless, the Blues were almost ending the second half the same way only for the unlikely goal scorer, Michy Batshuayi, who came in as a substitute to slot in the ball pass West Brom goalkeeper Ben Foster.
