#3 Two crazy second-half minutes turn the game around
For 55 minutes, Swansea looked nowhere close to troubling Thibaut Courtois. That would soon change, however, as Mo Barrow – who replaced Neil Taylor in the first half – injected some much-needed pace into Swansea’s attack and located Gylfi Sigurdsson in space, with only Courtois to beat.
The Chelsea keeper rushed out and tangled the Icelandic midfielder resulting in a penalty and a yellow card (as protection had arrived by the time the offence was committed). Sigurdsson confidently put the spot-kick away to level matters for Swansea out of nothing in particular.
Two minutes later, Gary Cahill was caught in possession by Leroy Fer, who made no mistake in beating Courtois from a one-on-one situation. The tables had turned and those two goals set the tone for a breathless finish.
