Scenes of wild celebrations – Antonio Conte is no stranger to those – as Chelsea wrapped up the Premier League title chase with a 1-0 win against West Brom on Friday.
It was a night of big achievements for Conte in his debut season in England, and he had to punch -not pinch- himself to believe it – not sure it was intentional though.
Perhaps he can be forgiven, but Antonio Conte’s celebrations as Michy Batshuayi knocked in Chelsea’s winner was over the top even by the Italian’s standards per Mail Sport.
He embraced his technical staff and sprinted up and down the touchline and jumped around like a six-year-old at Christmas.
Antonio Conte breaks some records:
Four is the lucky number for the Chelsea boss.
He became the fourth manager to win the league title after the first attempt, after Ancelotti, Manuel Pellegrini and Jose Mourinho.
