Chelsea won the Premier League title at Stamford Bridge on Sunday after a 1-0 defeat of Crystal Palace meant they could not be caught at the top of the table.

Palace had frustrated Chelsea during the opening exchanges, but conceded a penalty when James McArthur and Adrian Mariappa combined to bring down Eden Hazard in the area.

Eden Hazard's dreadful penalty was initially saved by Julian Speroni, but the Belgian winger was able to head in the rebound and spare his blushes, giving Chelsea the three points they needed ton win a fourth Premier League title in 10 years.

Here, we round up the key numbers from Chelsea's title-winning 2014/15 season:

83 - Points earned by Chelsea in 2014-15.

Three - Number of Premier League titles for Jose Mourinho.

96 - Premier League home matches for Mourinho, with one defeat.

19 - Top-flight goals scored by Diego Costa, who struck eight goals in his first six games, a tally second only to Micky Quinn's 10 with Coventry 22 years earlier.

3,150 - Minutes played by John Terry in 2014-15. The 34-year-old has played every minute of every Premier League game.

22 - Players used by Chelsea in the 2014-15 Premier League season.

17 - Assists made by Cesc Fabregas.

22 - Number of matches unbeaten at the start of the season, which ended at Newcastle in December.

105 - Fouls on Eden Hazard, the most in the Premier League.

38 - Premier League goals scored by Terry (a record for a defender alongside David Unsworth). Terry has four this season.

All statistics correct until after Crystal Palace home (May 3)
