Willian caps emphatic win against Everton as Chelsea close in on title via The Guardian

Antonio Conte’s body language said it all. A pivotal victory in the Premier League title race secured, the Chelsea manager crossed the Goodison Park pitch to lead the celebrations in front of a euphoric travelling support. Leaping on to Thibaut Courtois’s back, bouncing up and down in front of the Bullens Road stand and dictating the applause, the Italian’s reaction said the championship is close. He knows, his players know, his supporters know and so, in their hearts, Tottenham Hotspur must do too.

Everton, victorious in their previous eight matches on home soil, represented what appeared the most difficult assignment remaining for Chelsea in their pursuit of the crown. For 66 minutes it was, then Pedro broke Goodison’s resistance with a stunning goal that underlined the league leaders’ unerring ability to find a way through. Gary Cahill and the substitute Willian added further gloss to leave Conte punching the air on the sidelines and Spurs’ seven points in their rearview mirror ahead of the north London derby. It was a result underpinned by Chelsea’s clinical edge, relentless energy and organisation.

Chelsea find new ways to win after Everton briefly subdue Eden Hazard | Paul Wilson via The Guardian

With Idrissa Gueye marking Hazard it fell to Pedro to break the deadlock at Goodison Park, showing why Antonio Conte’s team have the look of champions
Judging by the celebrations at the end, the Chelsea players and their fans think it is all over. After this, it probably is. Not just because Everton seemed to represent the only serious obstacle to a smooth run-in, but because Chelsea already have the look of champions.

The very best sides, it is often said, have a hundred different ways of winning a match.

Chelsea close in on title as Pedro sparks emphatic win against Everton via The Guardian

Antonio Conte would not say it but his body language had already confessed. When the final whistle sounded on a pivotal win at Goodison Park, the Chelsea manager strode across the pitch to conduct celebrations before a jubilant away support. He leapt on Thibaut Courtois’s back. He bounced up and down in front of the Bullens Road stand. He led the applause. He knew. The Premier League title is in sight.

“A great win, a great win,” was as far as the Italian coach would go when pressed on the wider significance of victory at Everton. On paper this had been the toughest assignment left for Chelsea in their pursuit of the crown. On the pitch for 66 minutes it proved as much, with Ronald Koeman’s side holding firm and the contest delicately poised. Diego Costa and Eden Hazard had both missed inviting chances in the first half. The combustible centre-forward’s irritation was growing against a team that had won its last eight matches on home soil. Then Pedro let fly from 20 yards and the ball was in the top corner of Maarten Stekelenburg’s goal before the Everton keeper knew it. They had found a way, as champions always do.

Spurs’ Mauricio Pochettino retains title hope but Chelsea stay four points clear via The Guardian

• Tottenham players should be ‘proud’ of derby victory over Arsenal
• Chelsea’s Antonio Conte calls on leaders to finish job after win at Everton

Mauricio Pochettino spoke of his pride and delight at Tottenham Hotspur’s 2-0 home win against Arsenal in the north London derby and insisted that they remained in the Premier League title race, despite the “disappointment” of seeing the leaders Chelsea power on at Everton earlier in the day.

Chelsea’s trip to Goodison Park had looked like the toughest assignment of their run-in but they surged to a 3-0 victory – on the back of second-half goals from Pedro, Gary Cahill and Willian – and it had the manager, Antonio Conte, celebrating wildly on the pitch at full-time.
