When the debates for the greatest teams in the Premier League era come up, one side that would pop up is the Chelsea squad of 2009/2010 managed by Carlo Ancelotti.

Under the Italian's management, the Blues were an almost unstoppable attacking machine and scored goals for fun, with Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard leading the charge from the front.

Chelsea entered the final match of the season engaged in a tight race for the title with Manchester United, holding a one-point advantage over the Red Devils.

Thus, the clash against Aston Villa took on extra significance, as Chelsea needed the victory to secure a first league title since 2006 and stop Manchester United from making it four on the trot.

A sixth-minute goal by Nicolas Anelka helped calm nerves inside Stamford Bridge and from then on, there was no debate over who would get all three points and Chelsea ended the match with an emphatic 8-0 victory, with Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard, Salomon Kalou, and Ashley Cole all in among the goals.

With his brace, Didier Drogba steered clear of Wayne Rooney to win his second Golden Boot, while the club also set the record for most goals in a season (103) which was broken by Manchester City eight years later.
