LONDON -- Eden Hazard scored in the 28th minute Thursday to give Chelsea a 1-0
win over Swansea to remain two points off the Premier League lead.
Truitje Kevin De Bruyne . Hazard cut in from
the left and scored with a swerving right-footed shot for ninth goal of the
season, which proved to be enough for the victory despite Chelseas forwards
again lacking a cutting edge up front. Samuel Etoo should have added a second
goal just 15 seconds into the second half when Juan Matas cross found the
striker in front of goal, but fired his effort too close to goalkeeper
goalkeeper Gerhard Tremmel. Despite late possession, the visitors failed to
mount a serious comeback as Chelsea earned its eighth home win in nine league
games this season. "As time goes on and you dont score the second goal, you feel
as if you are going to concede but the boys worked hard and were in control
defensively," Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho said. After a quiet start, the home
side found its rhythm and should have broken the deadlock after 15 minutes when
A perfectly weighted pass from Etoo found Hazard, but the midfielder dragged his
shot wide. Juan Mata then found himself with the ball on the edge of the box but
his cutback to John Terry was wasted, as the Chelsea captain failed to connect
properly and the ball sailed harmlessly wide of Swanseas right-hand post. Hazard
eventually broke the deadlock after he picked up the ball midway through the
opponents half, and despite being closely marshalled by Swansea defender Jordi
Amat, found that extra yard of space to unleash a powerful shot which managed to
squeeze past the Swansea keeper. With Chelsea looking for a second, Swansea
looked dangerous on the counterattack, and the visitors best chance fell to
striker Alvaro Vazquez in the 33rd. Jonjo Shelvey flicked his header across the
box and Vazques connected perfectly but his side-footed volley was expertly
tipped over the bar by Petr Cech in the Chelsea goal. After his miss at the
start of the second half, Etoo had a chance make amends after receiving a cross
from Hazard, but his shot dragged past Tremmels right-hand post. Despite
sustained possession in the final 10 minutes of the game, the visitors failed to
create any clear-cut chances as Mourinho extended his unbeaten record in the
league at Stamford Bridge to 69 games. "We started OK, and the fact that we were
in the game until the last second is positive," Swansea manager Michael Laudrup
said. "We have to bring that positive thing into the next game against Aston
Villa."

CFL club announced Monday. The team also has yet to decide on the future of Doug
Berry, who began the season as a consultant to the head coach but took over the
offensive co-ordinators duties in July. SINGAPORE -- Red Bull driver Sebastian
Vettel claimed pole position for the Singapore Grand Prix, besting his fading
championship rivals Saturday despite gambling on skipping the last flying lap of
qualifying. Already boasting a big lead in the Formula One drivers championship
standings, Vettel sat out the last section of qualifying under the lights at
Marina Bay in order to save a set of the super soft tires for the race. The
decision looked questionable as Mercedes Nico Rosberg, Red Bull teammate Mark
Webber and Lotus Romain Grosjean all began strongly on their final laps and
threatened to tip Vettel out of top spot. Vettel was chewing his fingernails
watching on the monitors in the garage and pumped his fist when he saw his time
had stood up, as Rosberg finished a tenth of a second behind him in second.
Grosjean, Webber and Mercedes Lewis Hamilton were third through fifth
respectively, all within half a second of Vettel, who notched his fifth pole
position of the season. "I knew we had a cushion, that is why we decided not to
run," Vettel said. "The thing you dont know is how much the track improves. It
was very close and its not the best feeling when you are standing there and
watching. "Im very happy with the result, the car has been phenomenal all
weekend." Rosberg described second place as "a great result," but said the thin
margin between his time andd that of Vettel was a bit misleading.
Truitje Dries Mertens. "They (Red Bull)
gambled a bit and I am sure they are a bit quicker than that last time, if
Sebastian used another set of tires," Rosberg said. Grosjeans third place
matched his best qualifying performance of the season, made all the more
impressive by the fact that his more accomplished teammate Kimi Raikkonen was a
lowly 13th. With Raikkonen moving on to Ferrari next season, Grosjean is
auditioning for a team leader role, but is also aware he is not guaranteed a
seat with Lotus next year. "I dont really care (about beating Raikkonen),"
Grosjean said. "My relationship with Kimi has always been not very speaky. I am
just focused on what I have to do and we will see." Ferrari pair Felipe Massa
and Fernando Alonso qualified in sixth and seventh place respectively, with
McLarens Jenson Button eighth, Toro Rossos Daniel Ricciardo ninth and Saubers
Esteban Gutierrez a career-best 10th, bettering his previous high of 14th.
Vettel, who is on track for a fourth straight world championship, is aiming for
his third straight victory at Marina Bay, where pole sitters have a marked
advantage on the tight and twisty race circuit. "Its tricky to pass on this
track but because its such a long race, there are plenty of opportunities for
all of us, and usually we get a safecty car this race," Vettel said.
