FA Premier League 2004-05

The 2004/05 season of the FA Premier League began in August 2004 and ended in May 2005. Chelsea F.C. became champions on 30 April 2005.

Chelsea's title success

Chelsea completed their first season under the management of José Mourinho with only their second league title, and their first in 50 years. The success was completed with a Premiership record of 95 points (29 wins, 8 draws and 1 defeat) and a unique defensive record of just 15 league goals conceded. Key players in this triumph were goalkeeper Petr Cech, midfielders Frank Lampard and Claude Makelele, defender John Terry and striker Eidur Gudjohnsen. £24million striker Didier Drogba had a reasonable first season but was relatively disappointing in comparison with less expensively signed players.
