Premier, equal in the Italian Conte-Guidolin derby

The all-Italian Premier League derby between Antonio Conte's Chelsea and Francesco Guidolini's Swansea ends 2-2 – Diego Costa brace but that's not enough

Premier, equal in the Italian Conte-Guidolin derby

Francesco Guidolin harnesses Antonio Conte and the all-Italian Premier League derby between Swansea and Chelsea ends 2-2 after 90 thrilling minutes.

Chelsea took the lead first with a perfect diagonal from Diego Costa, but hosts Swansea didn't lose heart and first equalized from a penalty and then even doubled, infuriating Conte.

The final forcing rewarded Chelsea who caught the draw with Diego Costa but lost the leadership in the standings which remains the sole prerogative of Pep Guardiola's Manchester City.

“Today's draw is a real shame – Conte commented on the microphones of Sky Sport – after the first goal we had the chance to kill the match, but this is the Premier League. We know we lost two points today."
