#5 Santi Cazorla on Cesc Fabregas
On September 19th last year, we saw the match between Chelsea and Arsenal end in a 2-0 victory for the boys in blue. The victory was special for Jose Mourinho, who was coaching Chelsea at that time, because of the nature of the relationship between him and Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger.
Arsenal fans have not been particularly fond of Cesc Fabregas since he left the Gunners for the fair shores of Barcelona, where his career eventually took a downward turn and he was sold off to Chelsea. The midfielder played exceptionally well and was instrumental in Chelseas Premier League title win.
However none of this can justify Santis reckless challenge on the Spaniard for which he was shown a second yellow and was sent off the pitch. The frustrated midfielder was trying to win a 50-50 ball and lunged in recklessly only to hit Cesc above the ankle.
