Watch match highlights of Swansea 0-1 Chelsea
Sunday 29 April 2018 00:00, UK
Chelsea's chase for a top-four Premier League spot gathered pace as Cesc Fabregas scored a landmark goal to deepen Swansea's relegation concerns.
Fabregas struck in the fourth minute on a wet evening in south Wales - his 50th Premier League goal and 15th for Chelsea after scoring 35 for former club Arsenal.
Swansea had their opportunities, particularly in the second half, to claim some rewards, but the 1-0 defeat means it is now six games without a win for Carlos Carvalhal's side.
There is also little breathing space for Swansea now in the fight for top-flight safety, as Southampton's victory against Bournemouth reduces their advantage over the relegation zone to one point.
