Fabregas provides a midfield masterclass

CESC FABREGAS became the first Spaniard to make 300 Premier League appearances, marking the occasion with a man-of-the-match performance against Swansea.

Fabregas scored one, provided an assist and ran the game. Fabregas’s assist for Pedro’s goal was his 102nd in the Premier League, equalling Frank Lampard and second only to Ryan Giggs’s tally.

Chelsea’s opener, started and finished by Fabregas, was a peach. He picked up the ball in midfield and slipped a pass to

den Hazard. He played a one-two with Diego Costa, who fed Pedro on the right. When the winger looked for a target, it was Fabregas who was in the box to grab the goal.
