Cesc Fabregas has not had a fantastic season.

In fact it's been pretty terrible. His form has plummeted and Chelsea have suffered one of their worst campaigns in living memory.

But on Saturday the old Cesc was back. He grabbed three assists as the Blues beat Bournemouth 4-1 in an entertaining but ultimately meaningless game.

And in doing so the Spanish international grabbed his 93rd, 94th and 95th assists and jumped up to third in the all time Premier League assist table, leaping over Wayne Rooney and Dennis Bergkamp in the process.

But in a stat likely to very much please Chelsea fans, the Spaniard grabbed more assists in one game than Mesut Ozil has managed in 2016.

Does it make up for a terrible season for Cesc and his team-mate? Almost certainly not, but will Bleus fans revel in it anyway? Of course they will!
