Chelsea hero Cesc Fabregas trolls Tottenham fans on anniversary of ‘Battle of the Bridge’ that handed Leicester title


CESC FABREGAS has trolled Tottenham over the infamous “Battle Of The Bridge” that resulted in Leicester winning the Premier League title.

Four years ago today Spurs travelled to Chelsea still in with a shot of pipping the Foxes to the crown.

And moving into a 2-0 lead, the dream was on for Spurs thanks to goals from Harry Kane and Heung-min Son.

But Gary Cahill gave Chelsea some hope of getting something from the game, and then Mauricio Pochettino and Co’s hopes were killed when Eden Hazard scored the equaliser at the death.

And looking back to that infamous day, Fabregas has riled up a fair few Spurs fans.

The Spaniard, now playing at Monaco, tweeted: “Today 4 years ago we won the Premier League.”

He then cheekily added: “For Leicester City.”

There was drama all over the pitch on that day in West London, with a total of THIRTEEN yellow cards, nine for Spurs.

Moussa Dembele was retrospectively banned for six games for appearing to gouge Diego Costa, and Erik Lamela “accidentally” stamped on Fabregas’ head.

What resulted was Leicester and boss Claudio Ranieri winning the Premier League at odds of 5,000/1, with games still to go.

Fabregas’ throwback tweet unsurprisingly went down well with Chelsea and Leicester fans, with some professing their love for the “legend”.

Spurs fans were less happy, with one labelling the 32-year-old “a toddler” and telling him to “grow up”.

It comes after Jamie Carragher hailed Leicester’s title winners as greater than Manchester United’s Treble side or Arsenal’s Invincibles.
