8th April

Swansea 1-1 Chelsea
Barclays Premier League - Saturday, 3 November 2012
Pablo Hernandez's late equaliser rescued a point for Swansea and denied Chelsea the chance to go top of the Premier League.
It was a close contest at the Liberty with the Swans looking the better of the two sides in possession, while Chelsea created the more threatening opportunities.
Leon Britton cleared off the line from Fernando Torres in the first half, while Gerhard Tremmel brilliantly denied Eden Hazard's free-kick in the second.
However, Chelsea took the lead just after the hour-mark, as Victor Moses marked his first league start for the Blues by glancing home Gary Cahill's flick-on from a corner.
This sparked the hosts into life and Petr Cech was forced into making saves to deny Jonathan de Guzman and Nathan Dyer, before Pablo Hernandez struck two minutes from time to secure a point for his side with a curling effort from the edge of the box.

Swansea 0-1 Chelsea
Barclays Premier League - Sunday, 13 April 2014
Demba Ba scored the winner as 10-man Swansea finally succumbed to title contenders Chelsea, having been forced to play 74 minutes with a man less.
The Swans, who had Chico Flores sent off in the 16th minute, were forced to sit back for most of the game, as the visitors looked to make their numerical advantage count with Ba, Mohamed Salah and Samuel Eto'o all going close.
Despite being on the back foot, Garry Monk's side looked dangerous on the counter-attack as Wilfried Bony and Nathan Dyer brought the best out of Petr Cech, while John Terry deflected Wayne Routledge's effort wide of the target.
However, Chelsea's title ambitions eventually saw them get the breakthrough in the 68th minute, with Ba latching onto Nemanja Matic's long pass before firing past Michel Vorm.
