CHELSEA were awarded almost £99million last season by the Premier League as they claimed the title for the first time in five years.

Around a quarter of that cash came from prize money for finishing top of the table but the largest amount came from overseas broadcast rights, with all 20 top-flight clubs receiving over £27.5million from that stream.

Burnley were awarded just over £65million after finishing 19th - one place above QPR.
