Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas, himself deeply impressive since making the move to Stamford Bridge this summer, declared team-mate Eden Hazard on Tuedsay to be the Blues' version of Lionel Messi.

"He is the link between midfield and attack for us; he is our Messi because he makes the difference," Fabregas told Cope of the Belgian forward, who won and converted the penalty that sent Jose Mourinho's men on their way to a 2-0 win over Arsenal on Sunday.
