Fernando Torres turned from hero to villain as Chelsea ran out a comfortable 4-1 success over Swansea City at Stamford Bridge.
Torres opened the scoring in the 29th minute with a neat right-foot finish from Juan Mata's angled pass over the top.
But soon after Ramires doubled the lead on 35 minutes, the Spanish striker received a straight red card for a shocking two-footed lunge on Mark Gower.
Chelsea made it 3-0 early in the second half thanks to Ramires' second goal of the afternoon, sidefooting the ball beyond Michel Vorm.
Swansea scored a late consolation through Ashley Williams' header before Didier Drogba marked his return from a nasty facial injury with a neat finish four minutes into stoppage-time.
