Chelsea demonstrate title resolve as Fabregas shines in win vs. Swansea

LONDON -- Three quick thoughts from Chelsea's 3-1 Premier League win over Swansea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

1. Chelsea heeding Conte's title caution

As Chelsea have surged clear of a pack of faltering rivals at the top of the Premier League and the likes of Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger have taken turns to proclaim them champions-in-waiting, the zeal of Antonio Conte's pleas for concentration has increased.

On this evidence, his players are listening. Despite being caused considerable discomfort by a resurgent Swansea City side at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea continue to stave off the twin vices of anxiety and complacency that can plague so many teams that lead from the front.
