Chelsea ended a five-year Premier League title drought this afternoon thanks to a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace.
Eden Hazard sealed the win moments before the break, albeit in fortunate circumstances.
The usually-cool Belgian saw his penalty kick saved by Palace goalkeeper Julian Speroni, but the rebound dropped kindly for the PFA Player of the Year, who headed in from close range.
Has that had a negative on impact on his overall Sports Mole rating? Find out below.

Goal
Thibaut Courtois: Restored to the starting lineup, there was very little for the youngster to do. Having said that, he did race off his line bravely to block Zaha's second-half shot. (6/10)
Defence
Cesar Azpilicueta: One of the most dependable defenders in the Premier League, Azpilicueta did not disappoint today. He defended well and supported the attackers whenever he could. (6/10)
John Terry: For much of the game, the evergreen Terry camped himself at the near post, where he made countless clearances. His reading of dangerous situations made him the game's standout player. (8/10)
Gary Cahill: There was not too much for Cahill to do, but that is not to say he that he did not carry out his defensive duties well. (6/10)
Branislav Ivanovic: The Serbian struggled at times to deal with the pace of Zaha and was booked for tugging back the winger. Not his best game. (5/10)
Midfield
Nemanja Matic: Acting as a screen in front of the back four, Matic patrolled the midfield brilliantly. He always kept things simple in possession of the ball. (7/10)
Cesc Fabregas: It was a classy showing from Fabregas, who rarely wasted possession and showed good movement off the ball. (7/10)
Juan Cuadrado: The January signing will probably wish that the season would end now. Given a rare start due to a Ramires injury, he did little during the first half and was substituted during the break. (4/10)
Willian: Once again, Willian did not let his manager down. He did the necessary defensive work and also caused some problems up the other end of the pitch. (7/10)
Eden Hazard: He may have only featured in flashes, but Hazard still ended up winning his side the game. Yes, he got lucky, but some would argue that he has earned some good fortune with his performances this season. (6/10)
Attack
Didier Drogba: Understandably at the age of 37, Drogba is nowhere near the player that he once was. That burst of speed was badly lacking today and he also spurned a good chance to score in the second half. (5/10)
Substitutes
John Obi Mikel: Brought on at the break, Mikel actually burst forward on a couple of occasions and even went close to scoring a rare goal. (6/10)
Kurt Zouma: The youngster did his defensive duties well and made one crunching challenge in stoppage time that got the supporters on their feet. (6/10)
Filipe Luis: The left-back entered the action with just one minute of stoppage time left.

Goal
Julian Speroni: Often such an assured goalkeeper, Speroni looked nervy today. He failed to hold a couple of routine crosses and may even feel that he could have done better in saving Hazard's penalty. (5/10)
Defence
Adrian Mariappa: He did little wrong during his 60-minute stint at right-back. Such a display shows that he is a useful squad player. (6/10)
Damien Delaney: Up against the physical Drogba, Delaney proved himself to be a match for the Ivorian. (6/10)
Scott Dann: Similar to his central-defensive partner Delaney in that he dealt with Drogba well. (6/10)
Joel Ward: Ward often gets forward to good effect, but he found that a tough ask today. Defensively, the full-back did little wrong. (6/10)
Midfield
Joe Ledley: Worked hard for his team in the middle of the pitch and had a chance to score during the first half, only to shoot well wide. (6/10)
James McArthur: The midfielder can count himself unlucky to have conceded the penalty and, aside from that, it was a tireless showing from the Scotland international. (6/10)
Jordon Mutch: Having spent some time on the sidelines, Mutch looked understandably rusty before he was replaced. He worked hard to thwart Fabregas's threat during the first half. (6/10)
Jason Puncheon: There was the odd occasion when he looked lively and he even went close to scoring an equaliser in the second half. (6/10)
Wilfried Zaha: There were a number of occasions when the winger got the better of his marker Ivanovic, but too often his final pass was poor. (6/10)
Attack
Yannick Bolasie: Playing as the lone centre-forward, Bolasie did well. He tended to drift out wide, where he had some joy. (7/10)
Substitutes
Martin Kelly: The former Liverpool player did little wrong during his stint on the pitch. (6/10)
Glenn Murray: Having been in the goals recently, Murray would have fancied his chances upon entering the pitch, but he rarely got a sniff. (5/10)
Yaya Sanogo: He would have had a golden chance in the closing stages, but Zaha's pass to him was poor. (6/10)
