Chelsea enjoyed a strong finish to the Premier League season with five straight victories, despite the opening months under Mauricio Pochettino being far from plain sailing.
At the halfway stage, Chelsea had managed just seven wins in the league, drawing four and losing eight. The pressure was mounting under Pochettino, though the Argentine managed to turn things around - in the second half of the season, the Blues lost just three games and stormed to a spot in the Europa League.
