Cesc Fabregas came
to arsenal as 16 year old boy in 2003 and he became the greatest midfielders in
this current generation of footballers. He wins 2 trphies including Fa Cup and
community shield in his 8 years at Arsenal.He also provide good performance for
Arsenal in each and every he played.Here the best 5 Performance of
Fabregas at Arsenal.
5.Performance against
Juventus (05-06).
This was the match when Fabregas made
his mark on the international scene. Facing Juventus, in which former Arsenal
captain, Patrick Vieira was in the opposite team, Fabregas was going up against
his old midfield partner. Not only did he steal Vieira’s spotlight, he tackled
him on various occasions cleanly, scored a goal, and also assisted Thierry
Henry to make it 2-0 to Arsenal on the night. Arsenal went on to reach their
first Champions League final that season.
4. Performance against
Man United (06-07)
Arsenal started the season with no
wins and faced United early on that season.
Without Van Persie and Henry,
Arsenal were sure to get a beating as predicted by the pundits, but it was
young Cesc Fabregas who proved them all wrong. Stealing the ball from
Ronaldo, making the crucial assist to Adebayor who scored in the 86th minute,
sealing a famous 1-0 win at Old Trafford made him popular among the Arsenal
fans.
3. Barcelona
Performances (09-10)(10-11)
We always knew of Fabregas’s desire
to leave for Barcelona, but when Arsenal drew Barcelona in the Champions League
two seasons in a row, the Arsenal captain showed the utmost desire to help
Arsenal triumph over his boyhood club.
In the quarterfinals of 2010, with
Arsenal 2-0 down at home, Walcott scored and soon after Fabregas had won
penalty. What’s so great about this? Fabregas scored it with a broken
leg. It was his last contribution of the season but it did give
Arsenal a lifeline for the second leg.
As for the 10-11 season, Fabregas
along with his teammates finally got revenge for the previous season, coming
from behind to defeat Barcelona 2-1 in which Fabregas was greatly instrumental.
2. Goals against
Tottenham (07-08)(09-10)
The Spaniard gave fans one more
reason to store him in their hearts with match winning performances against
bitter rivals, Tottenham.
In the 07-08 season, with Arsenal
being 1-0 down at White Hart Lane, Fabregas assisted Adebayor with a header for
the equalizer, then scored a screamer from distance, finally rounding up with
another assist to Adebayor in injury time to seal the win.
Two seasons later, at the Emirates
Stadium, just 45 seconds after Robin Van Persie put Arsenal in
front, Fabregas doubled the lead, stealing the ball, passing every defender and
finally finishing past Gomes. Most probably his best goal in an Arsenal shirt.
1. Milan Goal (07-08)
This is the greatest moment of Cesc Fabregas not because of
the goal he scored. The goal shouldn’t have even gone in if not for a clumsy
Kalac in the AC Milan goal. But it was the significance of the goal.
Eduardo had recently broken his leg
and Arsenal had lost all of their confidence and had very little mental
strength, drawing all their games leading to this game. After a 0-0 draw
against Milan in the first leg of the round of 16 at the Emirates Stadium,
Arsenal had it all to do at the San Siro.
Arsenal however, completely
dominated, with Fabregas even hitting the crossbar in the first half. But it
was in the 84th minute where Fabregas hit a low 30 yard drive which secured
progress to the quarterfinals. Fabregas, who displayed tears of joy, ran
straight to Wenger, with all the substitutes doing a little team huddle. It was
a great moment especially with regard to the current morale of the team leading
up to the match.
