Cesc hails Chelsea matchwinner Batshuayi: This is why football is f****** unbelievable!

Chelsea defender David Luiz is thrilled to have won the Premier League title.

Vitory over West Brom crowned Chelsea champions on Friday night.

Luiz realised a dream with Chelsea's success, having joined the club for a second time last summer.

Luiz told BBC 5 Live: "I'm very happy. This is my first Premier League title. When I decided to come back here it was because of this - I dreamed of one day winning the Premier League so I'm very happy because my dream came true.

"I am so happy - we worked hard every day to have these kinds of moments."

The Brazilian paid tribute to his manager and added: "He (Conte) likes to work - this is his secret. He works with passion every day. I am so happy for him because it's never easy to come here in the first year and win the title. He deserves it because he works hard every day."

Midfielder Cesc Fabregas felt it was not going to be for the Blues after a series of chances were not taken in the first half.

He said: "To be honest I thought it was going to be one of those days. In the first half we had so many chances, we played well. We felt a bit nervous maybe because of the pressure.

"This is the beauty of football. A player that didn't play a lot. Everyone thought he doesn't count too much and then he scores the winning goal for the championship."

The Spaniard told his Sky Sports interviewer: "Football is f****** unbelievable", before apologising for his heat-of-the-moment language.
