Swansea City 0-5 Chelsea: Jose Mourinho's side move five points clear at the top of the table

The only complaint Jose Mourinho might have after this astonishing contest is the fact that there was so little to complain about.

It was a near perfect performance from his Chelsea side, with no need to cry conspiracy or point to an ongoing campaign against his team. He could not even moan about Wilfried Bony’s transfer to Manchester City. Here Bony’s absence was clearly to Chelsea’s advantage.

Instead at a stunned Liberty Stadium Chelsea simply returned to the campaign that remains Mourinho’s main focus; his campaign to return his side to the summit of the English game.
