It's exactly nine years since Chelsea obliterated the reigning Premier League champions on their way to the title.
Led by the always intense Antonio Conte, the Blues reasserted themselves as the best in England with a properly vintage campaign.

And perhaps nothing sums up that season more than their 3-0 victory over Leicester.
The Foxes had won the most surprisingly of titles the campaign previous, Chelsea blew them away on this day in 2016.
Diego Costa, Eden Hazard and Victor Moses - arguably their three best players that term - were on the scoresheet as the west London club put a marker in the ground for the year to come.
Was this the last time Chelsea were truly great? Sorry to Thomas Tuchel's Champions League winners!
