If they didn't already look it beforehand, Chelsea now look absolutely nailed on to win the Premier League tonight following a massive win over Stoke City at the Bet365 stadium.
Chelsea went 1-0 up through another smartly taken free-kick from Willian, who caught out Lee Grant by finding the near post when it looked like he was about to fizz the ball into the box.
Stoke equalised when Jonathan Walters won, and then converted a penalty in the 38th minute.

And for a while, it looked as though Chelsea were on the verge of dropping points and potentially keeping the title race open for a bit longer.
However, the ball fell kindly for Gary Cahill in the area after a Chelsea corner was only half cleared and the England man finished emphatically before celebrating with the travelling Chelsea supporters.
Antonio Conte, who has a bit for brilliant goal celebrations, produced another when Cahill's strike found the net.
The Italian was so overjoyed that his side had bagged a late goal to go back infront with minutes remaining, that he grabbed onto the opposition dugout as if he was a six-year old swinging on a pair of monkey bars.

Watch the brilliant celebration here:
Conte really is the gift that keeps on giving and I think sooner or later, he is going to have a Gopro attached to him so we can get a first-person view of his reactions during games. It needs to happen.

What a bloke.
Fans on social media were all over Conte's celebration:
Photographers at the game managed to capture the emotion of the former Juventus boss when the game was done and there are some wonderful images of the Chelsea boss from today.
