Fabregas slams Chelsea fans for anti-semitic chants

Cesc Fabregas is not happy with a certain section of Chelsea fans.

With an investigation into possible racist abuse suffered by Raheem Sterling and anti-semitic chants at games, Chelsea are in the spotlight.

And Fabregas believes there is zero place for any discrimination in the game.

"If we have to be taught a lesson at Chelsea to improve whatever happens around the world, then I'm happy," midfielder Fabregas is quoted as saying by The Argus.

"But to point the finger at one football club because of three or four of these people, I don't think it's deserved and I don't agree with that.

"The focus now is on Chelsea for what happened. Unfortunately if we look around carefully all over the world, all sports, all football clubs, we will find things like that.

"It's true it happened this (past) weekend, we cannot deny that, but to point the finger at one football club because of that I think it's really unfair.

"There's an investigation, the club is dealing with this very, very well. Whatever needs to be done will be done. I've no doubt about that.

"The people that did it (abused Sterling) got caught, they will be punished for it and they will be taught a big lesson in their lives.

"The quicker we get rid of these people, the better. This is not the real face of Chelsea."
