Fabregas and Pedro would combine again for Chelsea's second goal. The Blues had to wait, probe and battle against a well-drilled Swansea side. In the 71st minute, Fabregas found Pedro outside the box and in a bit of space. The winger cut onto his left foot and unleashed one of his trademark curling efforts at goal.

This time, unlike in the opening 50 seconds, he managed to hit the target and score. However, the ball bounced right in front of Fabianski in the Swansea goal and somehow crept in. The Polish keeper should have probably saved that goal, in hindsight.

But take nothing away from the Spaniard, who scored an important goal for his side yet again. He has now scored 12 goals in all competitions for Chelsea this season and particularly enjoys scoring at the Bridge.
