Plenty of ties spring to mind for Chelsea when thinking of last day battles. Not least a last-gasp Jasper Gronkjaer strike that secured the Blues Champions League football, on the last day of the 2002/03 season.
Add to that title parties, big farewells and a 26th minute substitution, the final day has had it all.
Here’s our VAVEL five of the best.
Chelsea 3-1 Sunderland (24th May 2015)
The party atmosphere was in town for the Blues as they welcomed Sunderland on the final day of the 2014/2015 campaign.
What was then Jose Mourinho’s side had already wrapped up their 4th Premier League title several weeks earlier as they beat Crystal Palace one-nil at Stamford Bridge, courtesy of an Eden Hazard goal.
The Chelsea side that won the league during this campaign, were the only side from that season across England’s top four divisions, to go the whole season unbeaten at home.
The game between the two sides also had it all.
Making their final appearances in Blues shirts were former Ivory Coast striker, Didier Drogba, as well as the man who holds the most clean-sheets in Premier League history, Petr Cech.
Drogba and Cech both started the game which saw the visitors take a shock lead courtesy of striker, Steven Fletcher.
Following Drogba’s departure after 30-minutes there was a standing ovation from the SW6 crowd. Diego Costa entered the fold making an instant impact as he levelled the score in the 37th minute from the penalty-spot.
Two further goals from forward Loic Remy wrapped the game up for the Blues, who went on to lift their Premier League crown in front of their adoring supporters.
Chelsea 2-1 Liverpool (11th May 2003)
In a match that would decide the final Champions league qualifier for the forthcoming campaign, Claudio Ranieri’s Blues overcame Gerard Houlier’s Liverpool at Stamford Bridge, by two goals to one.
With new owner Roman Abramovich watching his first Blues game from the director’s box, Ranieri’s men knew the task ahead of them; to secure Champions League qualification.
The Russian billionaire confirming his acquisition of the club, from then owner, Ken Bates, several days later.
A Chelsea side, containing a young Frank Lampard as well as legends Carlo Cudicini and Eider Gudjohnsen, started brightly, but went behind to a goal from Liverpool centre-half, Sammi Hypia.
The Blues rallied together and responded with a goal of their own just three-minutes later courtesy of skipper, Marcel Desailly.
A second goal would follow, this time from right-midfielder. Jasper Gronkjaer whipped his strike beyond the grasping hands of Jerzy Dudek.
Chelsea held out for a precious three-points, signalling the start of the ‘Russian Revolution’ in West London. Who knows what would have happened if they had lost that crucial tie.
Chelsea 5-1 Sunderland (21st May 2017)
A party atmosphere against Sunderland. Where have we seen this one before?
Antonio Conte’s Blues welcomed an already relegated Sunderland side, that had arguably been the worst performing side over a season in the Premier League era.
A match that saw the final game for Blues long-standing skipper, John Terry, was rightfully celebrated with five goals adding to Chelsea’s five-star performance across the season.
Javier Manquillo scored a shock opener for the visitors before Chelsea hit their stride, responding with a Willian goal just five minutes later.
Terry, to mark his final appearance for his beloved Blues, was substituted to a standing ovation in the 26th minute. An ovation that even saw Sunderland supporters on their feet, to recognise the great Chelsea career of a former England captain.
Further goals from Hazard, Pedro and a brace from Michy Batshuayi, ensured supporters went home with cheesy grins, as well as the photos from another Premier League title lift, their fifth since 2004.
Chelsea 8-0 Wigan (9th May 2010)
On the horizon was a World Cup in South Africa, so you would not have been surprised to see many players still maintaining their high performance levels.
Carlo Ancelotti’s Blues wrapped up their third Premier League title in some style, with eight goals swept past Roberto Martinez’ Wigan Athletic.
Eventual golden-boot winner Drogba scored a hattrick during the proceedings. While further goals from Lampard, a Nicolas Anelka brace, Ashley Cole and Salomon Kalou ensured a title-party that would go way into the night.
This Chelsea side at the time, set the record for most goals scored during a Premier League campaign (103), 29 of which were scored by their leading marksman, Ivory Coast international, Drogba.
Chelsea 1-1 Leicester City (15th May 2016)
A Leicester City side that had already wrapped up their inaugural Premier League title visited Stamford Bridge for what turned out to be a lap of honour. The tie bared no competitive edge due to nothing at stake for either side.
Guus Hiddink said a well-wished thank you to Abramovich having once again come to the rescue to mop up the pieces of a disastrous mess left by his predecessor - Mourinho.
A penalty from Spaniard Cesc Fabregas gave the Blues the lead, before a spectacular strike from Foxes midfielder, Danny Drinkwater, levelled proceedings.
There was time following the match for Chelsea to congratulate former manager, Claudio Ranieri, on his title win with the Foxes. The former ‘tinker-man’ now labelled the 'miracle-man' in the midlands.
