Thibaut Courtois – 7/10
Didn’t have much to do, and can’t be faulted for the goals, another decent performance from the Belgian.
Cesar Zapilicueta – 7/10
Still filling in capably on the left side of the defence to keep Felipe Luis out of the side.
John Terry – 7/10
His own goal was inevitable and he did what any defender worth his salt would do. Unlucky.
Gary Cahill – 7/10
Cahill gets better with every game that goes by, in disposable to the team.
Branislav Ivanovic – 8/10
Had his hands full with Swansea’s tricky wingers, but stood up well and disposed of the threat.
Nemanja Matic – 8/10
Kept the side ticking a protected the back line whenever Fabregas got forward.
Cesc Fabregas – 9/10
Recovered from a shaky start to play a crucial role in Chelsea’s fightback. As good as we remembered!
Andre Schuurle – 6/10
Struggled, and eventually went off at half time.
Eden Hazard – 7/10
A little quieter with the diminished responsibility, but still played his part.
Oscar – 6/10
More anonymous than his teammates, but like Hazard still played his part in a big win.
Diego Costa – 10/10
Looked threatening throughout and got his rewards with a terrific hat trick.
SUBS:
Ramires – 7/10
Came on at half time and added an extra padding in front of the defence.
Loic Remy – 9/10
A cameo appearance, but capped off his debut with a goal.
Mohamed Salah – 6/10
Came on too late to make a real impact, but still looked lively.
