It was the first time that former Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas faced the Gunners as a Chelsea player since his much talked about move to the Stamford Bridge this summer. Arsene Wenger, who had the option of re-signing his former captain rejected the deal as he felt that the likes of Ozil, Ramsey and Wilshere had already replaced Fabregas at Arsenal.
Arsenal were gun downed by a disciplined Chelsea side tonight. Despite not creating and threatening the Gunners back line like last year, Chelsea managed to pick all the three points and maintain their unbeaten run thanks to goals from Eden Hazard and Diego Costa.
Costa’s goal was assisted by Fabregas, who has seven assists to his name since his summer move. The Former Arsenal midfielder known for his play making abilities sitting deep in the midfield has been re-creating the magic that he did once in an Arsenal shirt.
Here are some of the reactions from the Arsenal fans:

When Fàbregas walked over to the away end to take a corner. The only thing I saw was our fans applauding him. Shame no-one picks it up.
