Blues stroll against The Swans

Fabregas opens the scoring 


Chelsea move 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League after an impressive 3-1 win over Swansea City on Saturday. 

Cesc Fabregas gave the Blues the lead on his 300th Premier League appearance - the former Arsenal man producing a fine performance on a day that saw legendary Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard honored at half-time following his retirement. 

But Chelsea were held back by Fernando Llrorente's header on the stroke of half time but second half goals from Pedro and Diego Costa sealed the win for the Blues. 

The outcome meant Swansea manager Paul Clement and coach Claude Makelele endured a painful return to the club they had served as assistant manager and player respectively. 

But for Chelsea boss Antonio Conte, the win moved the Blues one step closer towards a second title in three years. 

Chelsea's advantage at the summit is now double figures and Tottenham will take over as their closest challengers should they pull within 10 points by beating Stoke City on Sunday.
