What were the initial expectations for the Swansea vs Chelsea match?
Well, Chelsea came to Swansea looking to make it four wins out of four. They bossed the first half. Diego Costa, the difference at the break. Conte was delighted. But then he went Swansea's way in the second half. Courtois bringing down Sigurdsson. And it was he who stepped up the Iceman to equalise. It gave the Liberty Stadium lift-off. Then a challenge on Cahill from Fir. He wasn't penalised.
How did Chelsea dominate the first half against Swansea?
And that was 2-1 to the Swans. But there was still time for a way back for Chelsea. And guess who was in the right place to score a stunning equaliser? It's fourth of the season. He didn't manage four until Boxing Day in the Premier League last term. And that's how it finished. Two apiece, seven yellow cards in the game. 28 attempts from Chelsea. That's the second highest in the Premier League this season to Swansea's six. 50 touches in the opposition box.
What led to Swansea's comeback in the second half?
The second highest in any game this season. And 11 corners to one. Swansea used to dominate possession here, they had less of it today. 55% from Chelsea, just 11% of their passes were long. 17% of Swansea's were long, including one that led to their route back into the game. Let's hear though from two of the Chelsea players, Kante and Azpilicueta with Patrick Davison.
Guys well played. Ultimately, Cesar, having controlled much of that game, is the 2-2 scoreline a disappointment?
Obviously, a huge disappointment because I think we have the control of the game most of the time. Two goals comes from our mistakes, so obviously it's disappointing and we were coming here to get the three points and to get out with just one with the game we did, I think it's disappointing.
How did the match's turning points affect the final score?
N'Golo, how do you reflect on the result?
Where was that control of the match you had lost?
Yeah, we are a little disappointed because we're winning 1-0 and in five minutes we conceded two goals and the game changed. Hopefully we take one point, but when we can take three points, we have to take three points.
Cesar, what do you make of the goals you conceded? You said they were from your mistakes, but certainly with the second one, was it a foul on Gary Cahill?
Obviously, the first one is a free kick for us that we conceded a counter-attack that cannot happen. And the second goal, I think, is a foul. I think in live and after in the screen the free-kick was clear but the referee made that decision and that's it. We had to move forward, we had to get in the game.
What were the key player performances that influenced the game?
I think the reaction of the team was very good. We changed the speed of the game and we tried to come back. We were 2-2, we had chances to get the third goal and the spirit of the team was very good but obviously we are disappointed with just getting one point.
Can I just ask you about Diego Costa? Two goals for him today, he looks back to his old self. Do you see that yourself, not just on the pitch but in training? Does he look sharper than ever?
Yes, his work is reflected in the game. He's scoring a lot of goals for us, it's very important because he can score goals, he works hard for the team, he makes a lot of movement and obviously he's a big part of our team and we're happy that he's scoring goals because if he scores goals it seems that we are doing the right thing and he's getting the chance to score, that is important.
How did the managers react to the match outcome?
N'Golo, a champion last year with Leicester, how are you enjoying your new job and your new team?
Yeah, champions last season, now it's done, and now it's a new season, new challenge. I have to forget what I've done last season and focus on Chelsea and what we have to do this season.
Thanks for talking to us, well done.
Yeah, disappointment for Chelsea in the end, Gianfranco. I know you'd love to see them win, but it's your first game that you've seen here for a while. How much did you enjoy that today?
No, I think everyone has enjoyed it. It was a fantastic game of football. There was everything.
What tactical changes did Swansea implement to level the score?
There was quality of quality. There was suspense. There was emotion. There was everything. I thought it was a little bit harsh for Chelsea to be down, but they came back strong and you look, when I said at the beginning, you know, they look, they know and they like what they're doing.
