The assist king!
Chelsea’s Cesc Fabregas has become the first player with 10 or more assists in six different Premier League seasons. The new record was established during Chelsea’s 3-0 victory over Middlesbrough at Stamford Bridge on Monday. The 30-year-old Spain international delivered an assist to Diego Costa’s 23rd minute goal and then Nemanja Matic in the 65th minute.

“I feel the quality of my minutes whenever I’ve been on the pitch have been fantastic, so maybe my contribution has been even bigger than when I’ve played more in other seasons,” Fabregas said.
He has now surpassed Chelsea legend Frank Lampard last month with his 103rd assist in a 4-2 victory against Southampton but remains  56 assists behind Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs, who assisted on 162 goals during his career.

Marca explains why Pep Guardiola ignored Cesc Fabregas' handshake

 
Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola is in the headlines for some petty reasons.
Shortly after his side lost to Chelsea, 3-1 on Saturday, three Chelsea players; Willian, César Azpilicueta and Cesc Fàbregas approcahed the Spaniard for a handshake but he completely ignored them and that elicited strong reactions amongst football fans.
While it might have a lot to do with Sergio Aguero and Fernandinho‘s suspension following their tackles on David Luiz and Cesc Fabregas, Spanish outlet, Marca claims there’s more to the ex Bayern Munich coach’s actions.
Their explanation below:
“Although publicly there has been no real hint of animosity, Fabregas’ Barcelona return when Guardiola was on the bench was not at the request of the tactician, who had no real interest in seeing him return to the Camp Nou. Fabregas’ move back to the Blaugrana largely came about as a result of Tito Vilanova’s insistence and pressure from key dressing room figures such as Gerard Pique and Lionel Messi, who are close friends with the ex-Arsenal man. Their coexistence in the dressing room was far from ideal and they did not part on the best of terms, with Fabregas going on to join Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea in 2014 doing little to improve their relationship.”

They hate the way they have to sit back against inferior opposition, they hate the way they aren’t allowed to express themselves.”I’m told that Cesc Fabregas is the leader of that mini-revolt. And as a player, you do things like this when you know you are in the right You try your luck. Why not? It’s your way of saying to the manager ‘you can either listen to us, and give the go ahead to change and give us what we want, or we’ll keep serving you up the same old s**t and embarrass you.’

The Spanish international who pleaded guilty at the Guildford Magistrates’ Court today was banned from driving for 6 months, given six points on his licence, and ordered to pay £2,560.
His barrister, Ben Waidhofer told the court that the ex Arsenal player has learned his lesson.
