Chelsea's Thibaut Courtois: Concedes two in draw

Courtois did not make a save, conceded twice and was issued a yellow card in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Swansea City.

Analysis:

With nothing to do for the vast majority of the opening hour, Courtois was pressed into action on a quick counter by Swansea, recklessly jumping in, missing the ball and taking out Gylfi Sigurdsson, conceding a penalty on the way. Courtois may have been lucky to avoid a straight red, which he caught against the Swans last season on a similar play. Some two minutes later, he conceded again after Leroy Fer took advantage of a Gary Cahill mistake to give the Swans the advantage. While Courtois is still highly-rated, it's been since Chelsea's title run that he's truly been the top keeper Chelsea need if they are to contend for more silverware.
