Tottenham saw their title hopes take a massive dent with a defeat to West Ham on Friday – and the Chelsea fans were quick to mock their rivals on Twitter.
Spurs suffered a narrow 1-0 away loss at the London Stadium in the Premier League, with Manuel Lanzini scoring the decisive goal for the hosts.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side missed out on the chance to move a point behind Chelsea in the title race and now look very unlikely to lift their first Premier League crown.
Meanwhile, the Blues are delighted with Spurs slip up and now need just two more victories from their remaining four fixtures to guarantee the title.
Chelsea fans have celebrated Spurs defeat on social media and believe that they are now in touching distance of the title.
Here is a selection of their messages on Twitter:
What's so brilliant is the #Spurs fans were CERTAIN they were going to catch us. And now... #WHUTOT #WestHam #CFC

Spurs have done the double. For the second year running they've lost the league title.

Spurs have managed to set up a fascinating race for the title after winning their last nine consecutive games prior to Friday night.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have been the champions-elect for much of the season, but have been put under severe pressure.
Antonio Conte’s side now know that they need to win just two more games and they will be fully focused on their match against Middlesbrough on Monday.
They then travel to West Brom, before their final two home games against Watford and Sunderland.
Chelsea Fans react to spurs lose 😂
