A late goal in 88' secured Swansea for 1 point! That has been a very good result for Swansea. They deserves such a result. Both the 2 teams had finished 11 shottings. And Swansea held 52.2% possession in the game. And Swansea had a higher passing success rate than Chelsea. However, the swans only had 3 shots in target, which is 2 behind Chelsea.
This result satisfied me because it is fair to both the teams. Both the teams have the chances to win the game but neither of them had done that so the game finally lead into a draw. Now Chelsea is behind Man Utd in the ranking but Man Utd benefited from the referee again.
What do you think about this game?

Yes, Laudrup is amazing. As time passes by, his instructions could be understood by the team better and better. I think that Swansea would have a bright future if there are no accident. Anyway, it would not be so hard for them to survive their second year.
Chelsea is not as lucky as Man City this time. But what they need to do is to keep calm and try to get back to the leader position when Man Utd makes mistakes.

It was a great result for Swansea and one that they thoroughly deserved. They were playing on equal terms with Chelsea for most of the match. Only their indecisiveness in front of the goal was costing them dearly. Chelsea took the lead through Victor Moses, though there was an element of luck to that goal. The equalizer came through Hernandez and this had no element of luck to it and was just pure good finish.
For Chelsea, this means that they fall to second place behind Man United in the title chase.
Cheers!

Yes. The goal by Moses has a part of luck while the Hernandez goal was a pure good finish. In the beginning of the match Hernandez also delivered an incredible pass to Michu. He was the best player in this match according to my experience.
Swans only got 1 point in the 2 matches against Man City and Chelsea. In fact swans absolutely deserve more points in these 2 matches as their performance are so wonderful. If they got 4 points the result is fair to them. But this is soccer!
For Chelsea, I think they should not feel bad for getting into the second place. Maybe Swansea would beat Man Utd late in 22th December!

Yes, it seems that if they could perform normal they would be able to secure a survival for this season although the second season is considered as a hard one. For Chelsea it's not a sunny day as they lost their position as the No.1 in the league. The biggest winner today is Man Utd. Now they are in the top. And Man City failed to score with more than 20 shots against West Ham.

I must say that I am not totally surprised as Swansea deserved at least a point away at Man City last week. Despite the late equaliser I don't think Chelsea need to feel too despondent as I think that Laudrup has a keen strategic brain and his side can be a match for anyone on their day.

Laudrup is truly a great coach. Unlucky for him that Swansea had a horrible performance in the last month. But in these 3 matches their performances are positive. I think that Swansea would be in the middle of the league in this season and they could go up gradually if they could have some awesome transfer in the summers.

They deserve 4 points in these 2 matches. I love their performance! For manchester united fans this is an amazing night, they beat Arsenal and Chelsea had a draw. So for Man Utd, their lose against Chelsea in the League Cup worth! And now they are on the top of the ranking. And if Man City could not win, they will be even happier.
