Chelsea midfielder Fabregas delighted to break Guinness World Record

Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has broken the Guinness World Record for the fastest player to reach 100 Premier League assists.

Fabregas achieved the feat on December 31, 2016 when he set up Willian in a 4-2 win over Stoke. The record was previously held by Ryan Giggs but Fabregas reached the total 74 matches quicker than the Manchester United legend.

"I'm not the fastest, I'm not the strongest, I'm not the most flexible, I don't jump high," said the former Arsenal midfielder.

"But to achieve this record in my career is one of the proudest things in my job, because it is my job and I did it well."
