The 29-year-old midfielder who, of course, also spent eight seasons with Arsenal, was the provider for Willian’s goal to make it 3-2 against Mark Hughes’ men.

Fabregas had earlier swung in the corner which Gary Cahill headed home in the 34th minute of the clash at Stamford Bridge.

The Spanish World Cup winner becomes only the fourth player in the history of the Premier League to achieve such a feat.
