Chelsea continued their relentless march in the Premier League with a commanding 3-0 victory over Swansea at the Drogba Arena, further underlining their dominance at the top of the table.
The match was a clash of styles: Dimario’s tiki-taka philosophy against Swansea’s counter-attacking setup. Ultimately, Chelsea’s precision passing and clinical finishing proved far superior. The breakthrough came in the 41st minute when Edon Chafer, operating from central midfield, capped off a flowing team move with a tidy finish from 12 metres. It was another reminder of why Chafer remains one of Chelsea’s most influential figures, dictating tempo and finding space where others can’t.
Joseph Haigh doubled Chelsea’s advantage early in the second half with a close-range strike, before Emmanuel Gradley, the young forward recently promoted into the first team, sealed the win with a thunderous volley in the 72nd minute after a Swansea defensive error.
Player of the Match went to Chafer, who not only scored but also delivered a complete midfield performance: 55 passes completed at an 88% success rate, four dribbles made, and constant involvement in Chelsea’s attacking flow. At 31, Chafer remains at the peak of his powers and continues to be a magnet for interest abroad, with Saudi side Al-Hilal recently linked.
This result marks Chelsea’s ninth consecutive league win, cementing their place as title favourites and sending a message to the rest of the Premier League: under Dimario’s leadership, the Blues look unstoppable.
