Chelsea have extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table to 11 points, after a 3-1 win over Swansea City at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
The Blues took advantage of the Manchester Derby being postponed because of the EFL Cup final, to consolidate their position with 13 games left.
Cesc Fabregas, who was making his 300th league start, opened the scoring in the first half. But Swansea went into the break levelled, after Fernando Llorent powered in a header past Thibaut Courtois.
Antonio Conte’s men added two more goals in the second half through Pedro Rodriguez and Diego Costa, to claim all three points.
In the other fixtures, Everton defeated Sunderland 2-0, West Brom came from behind to beat Bournemouth 2-1, Hull City drew 1-1 with Burnley and Middlesbrough lost 1-0 at Crystal Palace.
