Blues lose top spot after Swansea draw

Chelsea endured a frustrating end to a controversial week as they failed to reclaim top spot in the Premier League after Pablo Hernandez earned Swansea a 1-1 draw with an 88th-minute equaliser.
Victor Moses's first league goal for the Blues had looked set to secure an away victory at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday before Hernandez continued the Swans' recent resurgence under Michael Laudrup with a superb strike.
Chelsea have claimed just a point from their last two league matches after defeat by Manchester United last weekend.
They now trail new leaders United by a point following the Red Devils' 2-1 win against Arsenal at Old Trafford earlier on Saturday.
Although clear-cut chances had been at a premium, it had been an even and entertaining first half, yet the European champions, who replaced Oriol Romeu with Ramires upon resumption, then increased their grip on proceedings.
Tremmel excelled by tipping a Hazard free-kick around his post but, from the resulting corner, Chelsea got their goal.
Oscar's pinpoint set-piece was headed goalwards by Gary Cahill and Moses, inside the six-yard area, executed a sublime headed flick which flew in off the underside of the crossbar in the 61st minute.
It looked as though the Blues had done enough to escape with all three points, yet Hernandez had other ideas as he exchanged passes with substitute Itay Schechter before driving a low shot into the bottom-right corner which escaped Cech's reach.
