Here's what happened in Saturday's 3pm kick-offs in the Premier League...

Cesc Fabregas marked his 300th Premier League appearance with a goal as Chelsea beat Swansea at Stamford Bridge to move 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League.

Fabregas opened the scoring on 21 minutes, collecting a pass from Pedro in the visitors’ box and poking the ball past Lukasz Fabianski in the visitors’ goal.

Swansea drew level on the stroke of half-time against the run of play when Fernando Llorente, who was linked with a January move to Stamford Bridge, escaped the attentions of David Luiz and powered a header past Thibaut Courtois.
