It's not often that the majority of football fans around the world are willing Chelsea to get a result, but that's the situation that unfolded on Monday evening.

The Blues needed to win or draw against Tottenham Hotspur in order to hand the Premier League title to Leicester City. Predictably, most of the pre-match chatter on Twitter concerned a team that wasn't actually playing:

Before kick-off, Chelsea fans were bemused by manager Guus Hiddink's decision to drop the man who would eventually decide the fate of the game and the league title—Eden Hazard:

"

Shortly after the goal, the game took a nasty turn when a brawl broke out. Mousa Dembele appeared to scratch Diego Costa in the eye:
