A Didier Drogba hat-trick helped the Blues to an 8-0 hammering of Wigan at Stamford Bridge.

Goals from Nicolas Anelka and Frank Lampard put Chelsea 2-0 up at the break before the Blues went on the rampage with Salomon Kalou, Anelka and Drogba finding the net within nine minutes of each other in the second half.

Drogba struck twice more, and Ashley Cole converted a well-taken volley to condemn Wigan to defeat and secure the Blues' first Premier League trophy since 2006.

Asked about his difficult year - Terry was stripped of the England armband after allegations about his personal life - Terry told Sky Sports: "It amazes me that people still talk about it. This is what it's all about, this is what I've worked so hard for all.

"It's about Chelsea Football Club and our day today.

"It's been a hard three years, not winning the Premier League, but we've done it today and we deserved it.

"It's been inside of me for three years, seeing Man United lift it season after season and every single one of us has sat there and watched it. And now it's their turn to sit there and watch us today."

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti told Sky Sports 1: "It's fantastic, we did our best and I did my best for this club. There's a fantastic atmosphere at this club, with these supporters, and I think we deserved to win the championship after this season. We are very happy.

"There are a lot of things we're happy about. We're happy for this record, for Didier being the top scorer, but the most important thing is that we showed some good play."

Asked about matching Jose Mourinho's legacy, the Italian said: "Mourinho did some fantastic work and won two titles consecutively. This is my first and I hope to do the same as Mourinho.

"Now we have the opportunity to win the double and I hope that my players can, after these celebrations."

Lampard was delighted with the manner of his side's title triumph.

"It has been right up there because of the way we've done it, we finished the season in style.

"It's been a great Premier League season and I think in the end we deserved to come out on top."

Asked about Drogba's childish reaction to being denied the chance to take the first penalty to make it 2-0, Lampard said: "It was nothing. That's what makes Didier what he is. He's hungry.

"It's 1-0, I've been taking the penalties all season and I wanted to score to make it 2-0. Once we went clear then I was more than happy for Didier to go and try to win the Golden Boot.

"We're a team and we want him to do well. He did it and he deserved to be top scorer."

Drogba himself was apologetic afterwards.

"I understood," he told Sky Sports 1 about the first penalty. "But at the same time I was disappointed because at 1-0 I wanted to score. I had to get over this frustration and in the second half come back.

"We did so well today I knew I would have some chances to score. I was not happy at first but after, I knew I was making a big mistake and Frank was right."
