The Blues recorded a 2-0 victory at the Britannia Stadium to ensure they will spend Christmas day at the top of the Premier League. Fabregas continues to shine Few players in England have contributed more to the first-half of their team’s campaigns than the Spanish playmaker, who this morning had a hand in both of the Chelsea goals in Staffordshire. With Oscar conspicuously spending a day on the bench, Fabregas moved higher-up on the pitch to sit between Hazard and Willian. After being a rock next to Nemanja Matic in the holding spot the last few weeks the former Barcelona star took the opportunity to once again show-off his attacking prowess, sending a number of quizzical passes into the direction of Costa. Notching up his 12th assist since the season began, Fabregas delivered another pinpoint delivery from the corner which found the head of Terry for the opener, then scoring his own in the 77th to seal the victory. Making a run into the box between two opposition defenders, the 27-year-old received a pass from Hazard at took a single touch to cut-back inside before sliding the ball around Asmir Begovic. The blue Christmas in England After Manchester City drew level on points following their win over Crystal Palace, it became clear that indeed this Premier League title race was far from a forgone conclusion. The Blues have somewhat of a frightening weekend ahead, hosting West Ham on Friday then travelling to St Mary’s to face fifth placed Southampton on Sunday, however they can take solace in celebrating Christmas day top of the table. #ASSOT #CFC #KTBFFH
