After an impressive victory of "Chelsea" with a score of 4-2 against the "Southampton" team, Cesc Fabregas received pleasant news. After Fabregas' pass into the goal resulted in a goal by Diego Costa, the team's mate achieved his 103rd assist in the Premier League. With 103 assists, Fabregas surpassed another legendary "Chelsea" footballer Frank Lampard, who has 102 assists to his name. With this achievement, Fabregas rose to second place, trailing only behind Ryan Giggs, who has an incredible number – 162. Pushed down to third place, Lampard will likely have to give up this position as well, as Wayne Rooney ranks right behind him with 101 assists. However, Rooney may not have enough time this season to surpass Lampard, as he has made 5 assists in 20 matches, and the remaining 6 "Manchester United" games might be too few for the forward to break into the all-time top three. Fabregas is currently in 6th place for assists this season, with 8 to his name, trailing only by one assist from the fourth place.
