Chelsea have kept up with the pace in the title race with a 1-0 win against 10 man Swansea.
The Welsh side were at a disadvantage for most of the game, having lost Chico Flores on 15 minutes for a second bookable offence.
However, it took until the 68th minute for Chelsea to make that advantage pay. Demba Ba scored the only goal of the game, with a shot helped into the net thanks to a weak handed save from Michel Vorm in the Swansea goal.
