EFL :- Cup Cesc Fàbregas completes Chelsea’s 4-2 comeback against Leicester City

Chelsea’s ambitions stretch well beyond winning the EFL Cup this season, yet there was no hiding what this victory meant to Antonio Conte and his players. The Chelsea manager was a picture of pumped-up raw emotion on the touchline as Cesc Fàbregas, whose extra-time goals settled a thrilling contest, ran half the length of the pitch to celebrate the moment that sealed their place in the last 16.

With only 32 minutes of Premier League football behind him this season and doubts about whether he fits into Conte’s plans, Fàbregas’s reaction was understandable. This was a personal triumph for the Spaniard on an evening that turned into an ordeal for Marcin Wasilewski, who was at fault for one of the Chelsea goals and was shown a second yellow card in the 89th minute for striking Diego Costa with his forearm.

In an online poll by the United fanzine Red Issue, over 99 percent of respondents called for him to be axed.
“Where do you want Wayne Rooney to play? Or should he be playing at all?” former England captain Alan Shearer wrote in The Sun after United’s 3-1 defeat at Watford on Saturday.

Mikel prepares for life after Chelsea


Mikel Obi
John Obi Mikel has said he is making plans for life after Chelsea as time ticks down on the final year of his contract at Stamford Bridge.
Mikel, who has made more than 350 appearances in all competitions since joining Chelsea from Lyn Oslo in June 2006, told Goal he will talk to interested clubs in January if he is not offered an extension.
The Nigeria international is the club’s longest-serving player behind John Terry and has won every major club trophy at Stamford Bridge.
But he has only infrequently been a regular starter at Chelsea, regaining a level of prominence under interim manager Guus Hiddink last season before falling back down the pecking order following the arrivals of new coach Antonio Conteand N’Golo Kante.
