Ghanaian international Michael Essien
finally made his first appearance of the
season as he captained Chelsea to a victory
against Swindon in the Capital One Cup.
Essien had yet to feature in any game for
the Blues this season after returning on loan
from Real Madrid. The quality of opposition
ensured that Jose Mourinho had no qualms
about starting the 30-year old.
The game finished 0-2 in favour of Chelsea,
and Essien would hope he gave Mourinho
enough reason to feature him in upcoming
games.
