Cesc Fabregas returned to the Chelsea starting lineup on Saturday against Manchester City. The Spaniard’s passing range against City was amazing, and one of those passes led to Costa’s goal that levelled the scoreline before Willian and Hazard added the winning goals.

Teammate Cesar Azpilicueta revealed the impact of Fabregas’ passes against Manchester City.

Azpilicueta (as quoted by the Telegraph) said: “To have a player like him (Fabregas) at the club is really important. We know his qualities — he is a game changer.

“The passes he did during the win against Manchester City were amazing. He provided the assist for the goal which got us back into the game — Diego scored a very good goal. Not a lot of players can do that kind of pass.
