Cesc Fàbregas insisted that he was more proud ofChelsea’s overall performance than his goal during Saturday’s win at Crystal Palace.
The Spaniard netted his first Premier League goal for the Blues since his transfer from Barcelona as José Mourinho’s men ran out 2-1 winners at Selhurst Park.
Chelsea secured victory to stay five points clear at the top of the table, despite being reduced to 10 men when Cesar Azpilicueta was sent off in the first half.
And the 27-year-old was delighted by the Blues’ resilient display.
Fàbregas said: “Now I am playing deeper in midfield there will be moments during the season when maybe I go five or six games without a goal or an assist, and I am more proud about the team work, the discipline, the way we coped with the sending off, than my goals or my assists. I give those to other people to talk about.
“We played a good second half when 10 against 10. We did have difficulties in the first few minutes but thankfully Oscar scored a fantastic goal and it helped us, and 10 against 10 is a different game and it was a solid performance.”
