closed Chelsea 3-1 Swansea

[cosmicway 1,252]

Good performance except for the momentary lapse when the swans equalized.
I don't think Pedro's goal was that much of a howler. He was lucky the ball hit the ground in front of the keeper and bounced up, but  Fabianski could not control this from his position and after the bounce could n't get to the ball.

Thought that was the best we have played for a while. Dominated the game, created lots of chance. Hazard was much better, Cesc was man of the match. Kante was brilliant. Worried about Costa though, his touch seems so off at the minute, got his goal but thought he was poor against Swansea and Wolves.

I'm personally not too worried about Costa. He can grind out a goal even when he's not on top form - only a few strikers can do that. Hazard on the other hand...you just want more consistency from him. Brilliant one game, quiet the next - obviously a massive step-up from last year, but still not quite the giddy heights of the previous campaign.
