Premier Division – 23 March 2053
Venue: Drogba Arena
Chelsea 5–0 Swansea City
Chelsea extended their dominance at the summit of the Premier League table with a commanding 5–0 home win over Swansea City. A pair of first-half strikes from Joseph Haigh and Logan Granger set the tone, before an unstoppable second half saw the Blues tear through Swansea’s fragile back line.
Relentless Rhythm
Haigh opened the scoring in the 24th minute, slotting home from a Kieran O’Sullivan low cross. Four minutes later, Granger made it two, springing the offside trap and finishing neatly past the keeper. The third came just after the restart, with Pelé rifling a shot into the top corner following a sweeping move down the left.
Haigh doubled his tally in the 69th minute, stabbing home from close range after a scramble in the box. Substitute Scott Crichton completed the rout with a composed finish in the 82nd minute, capping a dominant performance.
Star Men
Joseph Haigh was the standout performer, notching two goals and a 9.2 match rating. The winger completed five dribbles, created four chances, and won seven of his nine duels. Pelé controlled the tempo from midfield, completing 92% of his passes and breaking up play with relentless energy.
