    Just when you think you have gotten past Kante he's there again to nick it off you

    It's really impressive how often he's there to clean up.

    Silly unnecessary foul by Luiz earlier.

    Almost looks like a 361?

    Matic has been money since he got on. Really bossing the midfield.


    Hazard to Costa!

    54% - Diego Costa has scored in
    42/78 PL apps (54%); a higher
    proportion than any other
    player to play 20+ games in the
    competition. Star.

    Other than the bizarre goal conceded, a comfortable day at the office. One of Luiz's poorer games.

    Hey all. New member and relatively new Blues fan (~5 years). Was worried this was going to go like the Burnley match. Happy to see them pull it out.

    I propose a new Opta stat - hitting the first defender with a cross. We should call it a Moses.

    Only caught the second half, but very good. We are so patient, maybe too patient, but well done. Great third goal.

    Welcome. You'll learn the boards pretty fast. For example, I'm the guy with the Ramius avatar.

    I was worried Swansea would come at us hard; they did the opposite, which was really strange. Burnley was away from home so I expected that result. We controlled the game for the entire first half and only got a goal...that's typical for us this year. Everyone in a low gear. Then they scored because Cahill blew his coverage (not Luiz).

    Then Swansea reverted to Swansea with that Fabianski howler. Then the Diego goal was fabulous. 3 points. ********ing Chelsea.

    Also, great to see Lamps acknowledged. Needs a statue, a stand, a something. Best modern day Chels ever. Maybe best Chels ever.

    Also, Kante - MVP for us this season. Unbelievable. Tackles 2 men at once. Effortlessly and with grace. What a player. No vices, no complaining. All he wants is a football match. Sign him up for life. Triple his salary now.

    He's also really the only substantive difference between good Leicester and bad Leicester (besides a generally improved top of the table). What a difference one guy can make.

    I missed this game as I went on a rock climbing trip and just returned today.

    Good to get a win.

    Thought Moses was covering him? But yes, we were very disorganized and mentally in the tunnel. Shows why you have to focus until the whistle is blown.

    The opinion of the studio crew, at least, was that (captain) Cahill should have done a better job of organizing the defense and taken the tall striker himself.

    Letting Moses mark their striker was laughable. Conte will not let that happen again.
