Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was sent off as Chelsea began their Premier League title defence with an engrossing 2-2 draw at home to an excellent Swansea City side.
Jose Mourinho's men were leading 2-1 at Stamford Bridge when Courtois was dismissed for fouling Bafetimbi Gomis right on the edge of his area in the 52nd minute and the French striker scored the equaliser from the spot.
It was another impressive opening-day display by Garry Monk's Swansea, who won 2-1 at Manchester United a year ago, and added weight to Mourinho's prediction that Chelsea will face a fight to retain their title.
Here are the EPL top scorers after the first two days of the season.
