LONDON — Antonio Conte was sent to the stands for the second half as Chelsea claimed its fifth Premier League win in six games with a 1-0 defeat of Swansea on Wednesday. The Chelsea coach was dismissed from the touchline by referee Neil Swarbrick moments before the interval after furiously protesting the award of a Swansea goal kick. It was Rudiger’s first Premier League goal. Chelsea stayed third in the Premier League — above London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham — but trails leader Manchester City by 11 points. Swansea is without a goal in four games and stayed last-but-one with nine points from 14 games.
