Chelsea 3 Swansea 1: Blues go 11 points clear - as it happened
Chelsea stretched their lead at the top of the Premier League to 11 points with a 3-1 victory over a resolute Swansea City side at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Cesc Fabregas marked his 300th Premier League appearance with his side's opener after 19 minutes, finishing well after being picked out by Pedro's cut-back.
Swansea worked tirelessly to avoid further damage and stunned the leaders shortly before halftime when Fernando Llorente rose to head Gylfi Sigurdsson's quickly-taken free kick past Thibaut Courtois.
Swansea's hopes of a valuable point in their relegation battle ebbed away when Lukasz Fabianski allowed Pedro's shot to squirm into the net and Diego Costa wrapped up the points with his 16th league goal of the season, volleying in from Eden Hazard's pass.

WHAT THEY SAID
Antonio Conte: "If you watch their game against Liverpool (3-2 win), Manchester City (late 2-1 defeat), you understand the difficulty of the game but I am sure my players understand this.
"We worked well and worked to face them in the right way but Clement is doing a great job with Swansea."
Paul Clement: "Before my time there and after, they have recruited good managers and coaches with experience who are winners, and have continued to invest in the team.
"This team is different to when I was there. John Terry and David Luiz and Nemanja Matic are the ones I know. But they always evolve and invest and, when you get good managers and good players, it is a good mix."
