Antonio Conte’s side pushed further away from their rivals with a hard-fought win over a determined Welsh outfit, but they had a stroke of fortune too

Lukasz Fabianski’s costly error allowed Chelsea to go 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League with a 3-1 home win over Swansea 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 honoured at half-time following his retirement.

But Chelsea were pegged back by Fernando Llorente’s excellent header on the stroke of half-time at Stamford Bridge, with Fabianski then looking very difficult to beat for a second time.

Fabregas was denied a brace by the crossbar but Chelsea were able to restore their lead in fortuitous circumstances.

The visitors’ Polish goalkeeper produced a mistake that belied his strong showing as he somehow let a seemingly innocuous Pedro effort evade his grasp before Diego Costa took his individual tally against Swansea to eight with a late third.
