Today marked the end of the 2016-2017 English Premier League with Chelsea winning its 6th title. They confirmed their championship the weekend prior winning at Watford 4-3 while absolutely thrashing last place and regulated Sunderland 5-1 today. It is impressive that in Antonio Conte’s first season in charge of Chelsea they were able to win the Premier League and make it to the FA cup final, setting him up potentially for a double.
Yet, otherwhere in the league saw Tottenham finish second as expected with Manchester City coming in third and Liverpool in fourth. Chelsea and the top four will all qualify for the Champions League next year with Manchester United finishing in the fifth will also join them as they won the Europa League. Hull city, Middlesbrough, and Sunderland were all relegated back down to the English League 1 while Brighton and Hove Albion, Newcastle United, and Huddersfield town will respectively take their places next year. Leicester city did a horrible job defending their title winning season this year, and Chelsea fans will hope to not have the same thing happen to them, as it did two or three seasons ago.
