# Chelsea player ratings: Swansea (H)

Chelsea staggered towards a 1-0 win against a lowly Swansea side at Stamford Bridge.

In the first half, Chelsea were extremely dominant in possession, but their lethargic approach yielded very few clear-cut opportunities, with only Morata testing Fabianski with a hooked volley from inside the area. Willian and Pedro, both picked on the basis of their recent performances were the brightest sparks for Chelsea, and they too came close to opening the scoring but neither of them provided the clinical edge that was missing throughout the half.

The second half again started off with Chelsea in the ascendancy, and yet it wasn’t until the 55th minute of the game when Antonio Rudiger pounced on a deflected Kante cross to power home a header and hand Chelsea a much-deserved opener. Swansea and in particular Leroy Fer attempted to push for an equaliser, but they failed to even place a shot on target, as their troubles in front of goal continued.
