Frank Lampard came off the bench to score a penalty as Chelsea beat Swansea 2-0 to move back into third in the Premier League.
Chelsea's next Premier League clash comes at Manchester United before the London derby with Spurs on May 8 which could prove decisive in the Champions League qualifying race. For now they remain on course to achieve their two remaining targets this term and they will seek to confirm their place in the Europa League final in Thursday's semi-final second leg with Basel. Victory in Amsterdam on May 15 would provide a fitting finale for Lampard if he does leave Chelsea this summer at the end of his current contract. After the game, Benitez demanded no let-up. The Spaniard told Sky Sports: "We said that it (the race for top four) could go on until the end of the season so we have to concentrate on every game. Today to get three points, to do well, to play nice football was also important." Swansea boss Michael Laudrup rued the two quick-fire goals , saying: "That was too much for us I think, one goal you can cope with that but two goals in just two or three minutes just before half time, it was too much."
