📆 On this day, 21 years ago, Chelsea beat Bolton 2-0 to confirm their first ever Premier League title.
Managed by José Mourinho during his first season at the club, Chelsea won their first league title in 50 years and conceded just 15 goals all season.
That team was stacked full of winners. They were brutes and they were scary to play against.

🤔 Chelsea, Delap dilemma this summer.
Bought for £30m last year.
This season: just 1 Premier League goal in 25 games. Flashes of quality but low minutes and confidence. 5 years left on deal.
With Nicolas Jackson back, João Pedro firing, Marc Guiu rising and Emegha incoming, what should we do with Delap?
Keep as a squad player? Loan for development? Sell for profit?
Delap vs our other strikers. What’s the call? 👇
CHELSEA REWIND: Mark Hughes was 32 when he signed for Chelsea in the summer of 1995. An absolute bargain for £1.5m from Manchester United. His experience helped elevate standards, while his performances & goals in key matches contributed to the club’s success that soon followed.
Chelsea vs Leeds at Stamford Bridge:
- João Pedro scored 25th minute - tactical timeout followed. Bornauw stayed on the pitch.
- Then with CFC still having momentum, they missed two chances...and then Lukas Nmecha off the ball went down for another tactical timeout. 🤷♂️
CHELSEA REWIND: 1997 ⏪ 🎶 “We've got some memories, albeit from the seventies when, Ossie and co. restored our pride.
Now we've got hope and a team and suddenly it's not a dream, we'll keep the blue flag flying high…” 🎶
