Chelsea FC suffered its first drawback of the EPL season on Sunday as the English club side dropped its first points in a game against Swansea.
The Blue settled for a 2-2 draw at the end of the game, as Diego Costa struck twice for his team.
Costa capitalized on woeful Swansea defending to fire the dominant visitors into a 1-nil half-time lead.
But Gylfi Sigurdsson's penalty and Leroy Fer's bundled goal two minutes later turned the game on its head.
Costa scored an acrobatic late second to salvage a point for Antonio Conte's team, who stay second in the table.
In spite of the heroic fightback however, Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte, saw the result more like two points lost, rather than a point gained.
"It is difficult to talk about the game because I think today we lost two points.
"We were dominant in the game, were leading 1-0 and we created a lot of chances to score the second and third goal. Just in two minutes the match changed.
"I am disappointed because when you have the opportunity to kill the game, you must kill the game; but then, this is the English league," he said.
