Chelsea's Fabregas sets Premier League assists record

Cesc Fabregas has become the first player to
record 10 assists in six different Premier League
seasons.
Fabregas reached the milestone in Chelsea's
Premier League game against Middlesbrough on
Monday, teeing up Nemanja Matic for the third goal
at Stamford Bridge.
The midfielder lifted a clever ball over the
Middlesbrough defence and found Matic, who took
it down and fired through the legs of goalkeeper
Brad Guzan.
Ryan Giggs and Wayne Rooney have both managed
to reach 10 Premier League assists in five
seasons, but former Arsenal starlet Fabregas now
stands alone as one of the division's leading
playmakers. The ex-Barcelona man also created
the opener for Diego Costa, only for Cesar
Azpilicueta to get the final touch before the Spain
international striker broke the deadlock.
