  1. HALF-TIME

    Chelsea 2-1 Swansea

    A balmy glow at Stamford Bridge as referee Michael Oliver brings the half to a close. A very good one too. Swansea perhaps unlucky to be behind. 

  2. YELLOW CARD

    Chelsea 2-1 Swansea

    Jack Cork, a former Chelsea academy graduate, brings down Willian, who was in danger of breaking away. Tactical foul.

  3. Chelsea 2-1 Swansea

    Oscar delivers the free-kick, but it is nodded away by the Swansea defence. Three minutes of stoppage time. 

  4. Chelsea 2-1 Swansea

    The secret to this game so far has been good wing play. Jefferson Montero is doing the damage down Swansea's left, Eden Hazard down Chelsea's but here is the Belgian on the right wing now and wins a free-kick.

  5. Chelsea 2-1 Swansea

    Andre Ayew celebratesReuters

    Our friends at Opta say that Andre Ayew has scored in eight of his last 14 league game (in France and England), including four of his last six.  

  6. SUBSTITUTION

    Chelsea 2-1 Swansea

    Jose Mourinho looking on pensively in the west London evening sunshine. His defence is looking vulnerable. Ki Sung-yueng is coming off and is replaced by Jack Cork.

  7. Chelsea 2-1 Swansea

    Good point Joseph. I didn't do Andre Ayew's debut goal justice. He dragged the ball back superbly to make room for his finish. Ki Sung-yueng is down with what looks like a hamstring problem.

  9. Chelsea 2-1 Swansea

    If you haven't watched him before, Ecuador's Jefferson Montero is a great player to watch on Swansea's left wing . He is giving Branislav Ivanovic a good run for his money already. 

  10. Chelsea 2-1 Swansea

    Frantic tempo to this game but in amongst the chaos, Swansea have been creating chances and they will feel they can score again. 

  11. Chelsea 2-1 Swansea

    Federico Fernandez looks dejectedPA

    Andre Ayew and Federico Fernandez have now scored their first goals for Swansea. Unfortunately for the latter, it was not as memorable as for the former.

    Willian celebratesGetty Images

    Heartbreak for Swansea. 90 seconds after drawing level, they are behind again and it's a fluke goal. Willian crosses low into the box and Federico Fernandez deflects the ball up and lopping over Lukasz Fabianski's head. Cruel. 

  13. goal

    GOAL - Chelsea 1-1 Swansea - Ayew

    Andre Ayew shootsGetty Images

    Wow. Jefferson Montero crosses into the box, Thibaut Courtois saves Bafetimbi Gomis's header, but Andre Ayew tucks in the rebound on his debut.

  14. Chelsea 1-0 Swansea

    Cesc Fabregas, great player as he is, does frustrate at times. Twice now he has been in good positions to shoot but opts for a more difficult option. He used to play for Arsenal and Barcelona, don't you know. 

  15. Chelsea 1-0 Swansea

    The flow of the game has changed now. Chelsea more comfortable as Swansea begin to stand off their opponents. Willian flashes an angled shot wide from 25 yards. 

  16. Chelsea 1-0 Swansea

    Chelsea defender Gary Cahill was inches from nudging that goal in, which probably put Lukasz Fabianski off. Swansea fans may wonder why no-one was at the near post to clear. 

  17. goal

    GOAL - Chelsea 1-0 Swansea - Oscar

    Oscar celebratesge

    Oscar takes a free-kick from deep on the left, he hits it low and no-one touches it as it fizzes in at the back post. Disappointing for Swans keeper Lukasz Fabianski. 

  18. Get Involved

  19. Chelsea 0-0 Swansea

    There looked like a few empty seats at kick-off, so now we know why. 

  20. Chelsea 0-0 Swansea

    Great start to this match. In amongst all that Swansea's Ki Sung-yueng also had a shot beaten away by Thibaut Courtois. Swansea are showing no fear at Stamford Bridge.
