Chelsea fans paid tribute to Frank Lampard as the club legend was paraded at Stamford Bridge during half-time of Saturday's 3-1 Premier League win against Swansea.

Lampard, who sits at the top of Chelsea's all-time goalscorer list with 211 strikes, was applauded by supporters as the club's special half-time guest during the league clash.

His appearance appeared to be a god omen with the scores level at 1-1, as Chelsea went on to move 11 points clear at the top of the table with a hard-fought win over the Swans.

Cesc Fabregas scored on his 300th Premier League appearance, but Fernando Llorente equalised on the stroke of half-time.

Pedro scored Chelsea's second when his shot deceived Swansea's goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski, and Diego Costa added a late third as Antonio Conte's men won a 12th successive home game.

With Manchester City not in action this weekend and Liverpool at Leicester on Monday, the Blues' advantage increased with 12 games to go.
