Francesco Guidolin's Swasea side fought hard on Saturday to see through their first half goal and hand Guus Hiddink his first defeat in the Premier League as Chelsea boss.
Syfil Sigurdsson volleyed in in the first half to score the only goal of the match. Chelsea pressed hard in the second half, especially towards the end of the game, but couldn't get an equalizer.
Speaking after the match, Chelsea Boss Guus Hiddink said Chelsea were not sharp enough.
"Every defeat hurts but everyone knows the situation we are in, so there's a positive side to bringing in youngsters and seeing what they can do. We defended poorly and gave Gylfi Sigurdsson a very free chance. We were attacking, attacking, but in the final third we were not sharp enough." he said
Swansea manager Francesco Guidolin: "This is the first victory in the Premier League for Swansea against Chelsea and I am happy and proud we played very well in the first half. We deserved to score other goals.
"It's a very important win for our fans. It's a good afternoon for our players, our club and our fans. Jefferson Montero is an important player for us. Safety is almost real, but I hope to take other points in the next weeks because it's important to finish well."
