Chelsea 1-0 Swansea City

Eden Hazard scored the only goal of the game as nervy Chelsea secured victory over Swansea City at Stamford Bridge.

The Belgium international showed a rare flash of skill in a disappointing 90 minutes when he cut inside from the left before firing low beyond Gerhard Tremmel in the Swansea goal in the 29th minute.

But the Blues struggled to finish the game against an uninventive Swansea team, and Samuel Eto'o and Ramires were both guilty of squandering chances to score.

Swansea failed to trouble the home defence, but Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho will recognise an improvement in finishing will be needed when Liverpool visit on Sunday.
