Chelsea built a 4-0 lead by half time and the lead was equal parts Chelsea's dominance and Swansea's ineptitude. Diego Costa and Oscar have two goals apiece, one each of which were scored on Swansea blunders. The Goal above, Chelsea's second, was a great bit of teamwork from Chelsea, but Swansea allowed two goals on terrible giveaways.
This one, above, was bad enough, coming inside the first minute of play, but the third goal was even worse. Federico Fernandez tried to pass it back to his keeper but didn't see Diego Costa streaking into the space between the two. He easily picked off the pass and had a clear shot for a 3-0 lead.

The fourth goal was thanks to a great run and pass from Willian, who lead Diego Costa down the near side into the penalty area. Costa could have tried for the hat trick, but he passed back to Oscar who was trailing the play for a much better look and a 4-0 lead.
Chelsea made it 5-0 in the 80th minute with a tap in from Andre Schurrle. I don't think Swansea will be able to come back from that one.[NBCSN]
