Former Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has paid tribute to Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud after he scored four goals to help Chelsea beat Sevilla 4-0 on Wednesday night.

Giroud scored a ‘perfect hat-trick’ – netting with both feet and his head – as the Blues secured a 4-0 victory on Wednesday night.

The victory over Sevilla on Wednesday night means Chelsea will finish top of Group E regardless of the outcomes of the final group games.

Fabregas tweeted: “@OlivierGiroud what a real pro you are mate. All young players should have you as a role model. Well done once again.

“And people still wonder why you always end up playing!! Hard work, passion, dedication and real character to always turn things around.”
