4 - Conte has now won the league title in his last four seasons as a club manager, having lifted the Serie A trophy three years running with Juventus before leaving to manage Italy.
And Lampard, who won three Premier League titles with the Blues, believes the Italian has all the ingredients to lead the club to lasting success should he stay.
"You have to cherish these moments, you work so hard all season to be where we are", said Chelsea defender and stand-in captain Gary Cahill. The Belgium forward described it as "the best moment of my footballing life". People have written us off as a team and individually and this has shut them up. "To play with only one forward and two number 10s made us more solid in our defence".
Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas admitted the pressure of trying to finish off the title race had contributed to a less than dominant display from his side.
West Brom offered the odd counter-attack but the one-way traffic continued after the break as Victor Moses was denied by a splendid low save by Ben Foster.
The end of the evening was in stark contrast to the start, as a stubborn West Brom defended deep and in numbers and frustrated Chelsea.
Yet there was nearly a shock for Chelsea when Rondon escaped a challenge from David Luiz and raced clear, only for Cesar Azpilicueta to make a vital, saving challenge.

Once it was publicly disclosed, anyone could have leveraged it against computers that haven't been patched since before March. This particular ransomware is "using this flaw in the file-sharing that is giving it apparently a real boost", Spafford said.
This win was Chelsea's 28th of the season, putting the league leaders 10 points clear of second-placed Tottenham Hotspur.
The final minutes were interrupted by some scuffling in the stands but nothing could dampen Chelsea's joy.
"I think that now it's very important to enjoy this moment and to celebrate this win". I think he will be backed and he does need backing.
"It's a dream which is coming true".
"If you're a Chelsea fan that's what you're hoping for now".
They will seek to complete a double in Conte's first season by winning the FA Cup final against Arsenal on May 27.
Conte was delighted by his team's season but his post-match news conference was kept short, as Diego Costa, David Luiz and John Terry arrived to playfully drag their Italian coach away.
