Chelsea Wins Premier League Title For 1st Time In 5 Years

LONDON (AP) — Chelsea won the Premier League with three games to spare with a 1-0 victory over fellow London side Crystal Palace, while Paris Saint-Germain took a step closer to a third straight title with a 2-0 victory at Nantes in the French league. Hazard, recently voted the English league's best player, hit a weak penalty that was saved by goalkeeper Julian Speroni at the end of the first half, but reacted quickly to head in the rebound. Chelsea takes the Premier League title from Manchester City, which won 1-0 at Tottenham thanks to Sergio Aguero's league-leading 22nd goal to stay in the race for second place. Zlatan Ibrahimovic returned to spearhead Paris Saint-Germain's attack, but it was Edinson Cavani who set the tone with his fourth goal in four games as PSG won 2-0 at Nantes to move three points clear of Lyon and move closer to a third straight title. Ibrahimovic had missed three games for insulting officials after a league game against Bordeaux in March, giving Cavani the chance to shine at center forward. Fourth-place Napoli moved to within four points of Lazio and the final Champions League berth after it won 3-0 at home against AC Milan, which had defender Mattia De Sciglio sent off after 49 seconds.
