Cesc Fabregas: From Forgotten Man to Key Figure in Chelsea’s Title Push
- Updated: December 15, 2016
First, it was an assist for Diego Costa to break the deadlock against West Bromwich Albion at the weekend, and then Cesc Fabregas followed it up with the winning goal at Sunderland on Wednesday.
Chelsea are six points clear at the top of the Premier League, and the Spaniard can claim to be a big part of that. Indeed, remove him from the equation and that lead may well be a lot more slender if we factor in his role in the Blues winning their last two matches.
Continuing their winning run as they have has been vital to Antonio Conte’s side asserting themselves as the Premier League’s runaway leaders heading into the Christmas period.
On Sunday, the Blues capitalised on Manchester City and Liverpool dropping points. Three days later, they did the same after Arsenal’s defeat to Everton by winning their 10th game in a row to take a maximum 30 points from 30 available.
And at the heart of it all recently has been the man we were beginning to forget about. Fabregas’ impact over the past 10 days—he was inspirational in Costa’s equaliser against City, setting up Chelsea’s 3-1 win—has been incredible.
Who can stop Chelsea?
