Chelsea break Premier League wins record
Premier League champions Chelsea became record breakers by claiming their 30th win of the season against Sunderland.
Chelsea broke the record for Premier League wins in a single season by racking up their 30th victory of the campaign against Sunderland on Sunday.
Antonio Conte's men had already wrapped up the title with a 1-0 win at West Brom on May 12 and equalled the previous marker of 29 - also set by Chelsea in 2004-05 and 2005-06 - by beating Watford on Monday.
And the Blues were given further cause for celebration at their Stamford Bridge trophy presentation after the home side signed off in record-breaking fashion.
Chelsea thrashed Sunderland 5-1 to seal the record as Willian, Eden Hazard, Pedro and a double from Michy Batshuayi saw them respond emphatically to Javier Manquillo's opener for the visitors.
