Patrick Davison and Martin Tyler discuss Chelsea's title win from the Stamford Bridge tunnel

Chelsea are worthy Premier League champions and should get credit for leading from the front, says Martin Tyler.

Jose Mourinho’s side confirmed their first league title in five years with a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace on Sunday.

The Blues’ style of play has been questioned in recent matches but Sky Sports commentator Tyler - speaking in the latest of our special 'tunnel talk' series - says there can be no doubt over their status as champions.

“Everyone who is champion is worthy,” he told reporter Patrick Davison after the game.

“There have been a lot of 1-0 wins recently, but they’re wins and that’s all that matters. Just look at the points.

“We’re not the best in this country at honouring the best, because we’re brought up to appreciate the underdog and sometimes we devalue the top dog.”
