Oscar delighted by ruthless Chelsea

Chelsea midfielder Oscar has praised the team for ruthlessly dispatching of Swansea City 5-0 on Saturday.

The Blues opened up a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League table over the weekend as they hammered the Swans at the Liberty Stadium.

Oscar, who scored two of Chelsea's goals, believes that Jose Mourinho's side were clinical in punishing any mistakes that Swansea made.

"They made a mistake because we press," the Brazilian told the club's official website. "We know Swansea like to stay with the ball and we pressed them in the first half. They made mistakes and we scored the goals."

Chelsea are back in action on Tuesday night when they travel to Liverpool for the first leg of their League Cup semi-final.
