Chelsea have managed to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League after yet another commendable win over Swansea City at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues have looked professional throughout the game as they dominated the display with some impressive football all around. The result meant Chelsea are inching closer to the Premier League title this season as they are now 11 points clear at the top of the league after none of the other four title rivals set to play a Premier League fixture this weekend.
The hosts have opened the scoring as Cesc Fabregas has capped his 300th Premier League appearance with a decent finish in the box. However, Chelsea were left shell shocked when Swansea City managed to draw an equalizer courtesy of an exquisite header from striker Fernando Llorente.
Chelsea have controlled the second half from the start and have moved to the lead as Pedro continued his incredible form. The hosts soon were into two goal cushion as Diego Costa scored within the six yard box.
The 2-1 win marked their tenth consecutive home win in the Premier League after their 1-2 defeat to Liverpool in September. Here we look at how twitter reacted after another dominating display by the London Blues as they inch closer to winning Premier League.
