Swansea trashed by Chelsea

font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;">A brilliant first-half display from Jose Mourinho's men saw them run riot, with four of the visitors' five goals coming before the break.</span><br /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;">Swansea were the cause of their own downfall at times, though, with Oscar profiting from a poor pass to open the scoring from 20 yards within the opening minute, and Diego Costa opening his account with a composed finish.</span><br /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;">The striker added his second following a mistake from Federico Fernandez in the 34th minute, before he turned provider as Oscar made it four two minutes later.</span><br /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;">Chelsea coasted to victory in the second half, with Andre Schurrle rounding off the scoring from close range late on.</span><br /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;">Victory sees Chelsea move five points clear at the top of the table - second-placed Manchester City face Arsenal on Sunday – while Swansea remain in ninth after their heaviest defeat of the season.</span><br /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;">With Leon Britton sidelined by a groin injury, Swansea were forced to play Gylfi Sigurdsson in a deeper midfield role, and it cost them almost instantly.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;">Sigurdsson immediately went close to atoning for his error with a long-range effort that clipped the post on its way wide, but Swansea should have been further behind when Willian blazed over after 12 minutes.</span><br /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;">Mourinho's side were in total control and, after Eden Hazard saw a low shot saved, they doubled their lead as </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;">Costa</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;"> applied the finishing touch to a flowing move.</span><br /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;">Oscar, Willian and Cesc Fabregas exchanged passes on the edge of the penalty area before the latter played in his Spain team-mate, and he emphatically fired beyond goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski.</span><br /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;">Another two goals arrived before the break as Chelsea punished some more slack Swansea defending, the first coming when </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;">Costa</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;"> pounced on Fernandez's weak back pass and the second – Chelsea's fourth – going in two minutes later.</span><br /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;">Willian powered through the Swansea midfield before finding Costa on the right, his cut back found </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;">Oscar</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;">and he fired high into Fabianski's goal.</span><br /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;">There was still time for Willian to hit the crossbar before the break, but it mattered little to Chelsea, who threatened again early in the second half with Fabregas wasting a close-range effort.</span><br /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;">After such a disastrous first half, things began to improve for Swansea as their pass-and-move football returned, but Chelsea's defence comfortably kept them at bay.</span><br /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;">Patient play was the name of the game for the visitors and, after another period of possession, the ball fell to Hazard after 71 minutes - the Belgian unleashing a powerful shot that Fabianski was able to push away.</span><br /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;">Substitute </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;">Schurrle</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7360000610352px;"> added gloss to Chelsea's win with the fifth goal after 79 minutes, the Germany international ghosting into the penalty area to convert Branislav Ivanovic's low cross and seal an ruthless win.</span>
