Leaders Chelsea extended their lead at the top of the table after their 0-5 triumph against Swansea at the Liberty Park earlier today. Jose Mourinho’s men are five points clear of Manchester City, who are facing Arsenal at the Etihad stadium tomorrow. Brazilian midfielder Oscar started the show for the Blues and scored either side of a Diego Costa’s brace. Going into the half-time with a 4-0 lead, Chelsea slowed down in the second half as they are scheduled to play Liverpool in the Capital One Cup semis this Tuesday. Germany’s Andre Schurrle sealed the win for the Londoners with a 79th minute strike. Here are some reactions from twitter regarding this clash.

Tiki-Taka:
That’s some 2011-era Barcelona stuff on Chelsea’s second goal. Fantastic.

People having Costa as captain in FPL would have been benefited.
