In Chelsea's 5-0 dismantling of Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday, midfielder Cesc Fàbregas notched up his fifteenth league assist of the season and became the first player in Premier League history to provide 15 assists in two seasons (2007/08 and 2014/15).
Fàbregas' assist for Diego Costa's 20th minute goal put the midfielder just 2 behind his personal best of 17 assists in 2007/08 for Arsenal and just 5 behind Thierry Henry who holds the record of 20 assists in the 2002/03 season. After 22 games in the 02/03 campaign Henry had just 7 assists, less than half what Fàbregas currently has. If the Spaniard continues at the same rate, he is on track to total a remarkable 26 assists by the end of the season, a figure that would blow his ex-teammate's record clear out of the water.
