A late goal by substitute Michy Batshuayi was enough for Chelsea to beat a dogged West Bromwich Albion 1-0 at the Hawthorns and confirm their status as champions.
Cesc Fabregas was interviewed alongside team-mate Gary Cahill by Sky Sports reporter Geoff Shreeves shortly after the final whistle blew and the Spaniard was overwhelmed with joy that he accidentally swore while hailing the decisive strike by fringe player Batshuayi.
When asked if he thought the goal would ever come, Fabregas said: “This is the beauty of football.
“A player that didn’t play a lot, everyone thought he would not come to much, then he scored the winning goal for the championship. I mean, football is f****** unbelievable.”

Fabregas then noticed his error and quickly apologised. Shreeves did the same to viewers at home who may have been easily offended.
