Top four finish still possible for Blues with 3 games left as Fabregas scored to keep Chelsea going forward with a 1-0 victory over Swansea.
Match Events
4' GOAL! Swansea 0-1 Chelsea (Fabregas)
A lovely finish from Chelsea but the move leaves the Swansea defence in tatters.
Some poor control in the middle of the park allows Kante to nestle the loose ball into the path of Hazard who shakes off a half challenge from Ki to burst towards the top of the area.
He then slides in Fabregas to his right and the Spaniard produces a lovely, curling finish into the top corner.
29: CLOSE! How did no one get a touch on that?!
Moses pings a ball across the face of goal from the right flank, but it runs through the box, missing the waiting Giroud in the middle.
70: SAVE! A solid save from Fabianski as Azpilicueta dinks the ball over the top of the Swansea defence for Hazard, but the Belgian's header goes straight into the hands of the goalkeeper.
74: MISS!! A big miss for Chelsea, and that really should be 2-0.
There's some lovely interplay between Hazard and Fabregas in the area, with the former's shot ricocheting off the body of Mawson before landing at the feet of Fabregas.
He then slides the ball to the waiting Moses at the near post and all it needs is a touch to poke it home, but he cannot quite get it round the right side of the post as it wriggles behind.

Top 4 finish still possible? Maybe. But they have to win next 3 matches with good goal difference. Chelsea can do lot better Vs Swansea. I expected more. But past is past. 3 points in pocket. Go Blues!!!

man. u no problem beating chelski in fa cup final we will rip the pee out of the blue shite 3 1 conte is a useless coach fergie rules all and now jose is the one to lead man u to more titles and trophies
Conte made history last season even Ferguson, wenger, mourinho, guardiola, Klopp, Pochentino, van Gaal, ancelot and other Great coaches failed to made before. He was the second coach in EPL history to win the league in his first season only mourinho done this! He won best coach of the season in his first season in EPL none of them done this before! he won Epl manager of mouth for three consecutive months no one done this before until guardiola won for this season. he reached the long matches wins 13 to emulate Arsenal record, he won the most matches for single season!!! And still he established the formation that adapted by other great coach like wenger and Komean!! All these do for his first season in toughest season of all time by many! So for which point or rule CONTE is considered as USEFUL COACH?
