During a first half where Tiemoue Bakayoko and Willian gave Antonio Conte's side a 2-0 lead, the travelling fans broke into song: 'Champions of England, you'll never sing that.'

Chelsea fans chanted 'champions of England, you'll never sing that' during the first half
The Terriers claimed their first ever league title in 1923-24, whereas Chelsea won theirs in 1954-55.
In recent years, however, the millions invested in Chelsea by owner Roman Abramovich has paved the way for a trophy-laden era in west London, while Huddersfield are competing in the Premier League for the first time in their history.
Since the Russian took over the club in 2003, Chelsea have won five Premier League titles, four FA Cups, three League Cups, the Champions League and the Europa League.
Huddersfield's rise, meanwhile, has come against the odds with the Yorkshire club tipped for a battle to maintain their place in the Championship at the start of last season.
