Swansea 1-0 Chelsea
Gylfi Sigurdsson has now scored nine league goals since the turn of the year
Swansea City claimed an impressive first Premier League win against Chelsea to all but secure their top-flight survival.
The Swans seized on a tepid Chelsea display to dominate the first half and lead through Gylfi Sigurdsson's volley.
The visitors enjoyed more possession after the break but were stifled by the hosts, who are now 13 points clear of the relegation zone.
Chelsea stay 10th after a first league defeat under manager Guus Hiddink.
The reigning champions had been unbeaten in 14 Premier League games under the Dutchman, though they surrendered that record meekly at the Liberty Stadium.
Swansea, by contrast, produced what was arguably the most accomplished performance of head coach Francesco Guidolin's tenure

City move four points clear of Manchester United, and to within two of Arsenal. Samir Nasri played very well in his first start since September and scored the winning goal after earlier strikes from Sessegnon and Aguero.
Nasri returned to City's starting line-up for the first time since September after a thigh injury, scoring the winner in the 2-1 victory over West Brom on Saturday Night Football.
The Frenchman admitted City's play can be predictable when both Jesus Navas and Raheem Sterling are playing, and insists he brings a different dimension to play.
