Swindon 0 Chelsea 2Capital One Cup 3rd Round
RESULT: Swindon Town 0 Chelsea 2
Chelsea scorers: Torres 29, Ramires 35
Fernando Torres ended Swindon's Cup dream but Town fans were still proud on a night to savour at a County Ground packed to the rafters.
Chelsea's £50 million striker scored one and set one up either side of the half-hour to leave the Robins' with too much to do in the second-half.
Dany N'Guessan did get the ball in the back of the net, however, just after break but his header was declared off-side.
And despite having the lion's share of possession for a period, Swindon's passing game just couldn't find a way through Mourinho's well-drilled, pressing side that featured the likes of Terry, Mata, Essien & Cahill.
Chelsea even had chances to make it 3-0 late on.
Frustration
"We showed we can play football but the overriding feeling for me is frustration that we didn't work the goalkeeper a bit more," said a reflective Mark Cooper.
Nile Ranger is an injury worry for Saturday after going off with a suspected groin strain.
