'Joke' to compare Chelsea to Invincibles - Fabregas

Cesc Fabregas laughed off suggestions that Chelsea could replicate Arsenal's legendary 2003-04 Invincible side.

The former Gunner, now a key part of Jose Mourinho's Chelsea team and a goalscorer in their 2-1 win at Crystal Palace described the comparison as a 'joke'.
With the same round Kun Aguero became Manchester City's record Premier League after scoring 4 goals on Tottenham.

Chelsea strike gives Lampard the blues

Former Chelsea star Frank Lampard came off the bench to net a late equaliser for Manchester City in Sunday's clash at the Etihad Stadium, ending the Blues' 100 per cent winning start to the season.

The veteran midfielder spent 13 years at Stamford Bridge and is the club's all-time leading scorer with 211 goals in all competitions, though was not offered a new deal when his contract expired over the summer.

Instead Lampard joined Manuel Pellegrini's side and was named in the squad to face Chelsea despite previous suggestions that his move to City included a clause that meant he did not have to play against a club so close to his heart.

He received a rousing round of applause from both sets of fans when he was brought on in the 78th minute, though the Chelsea support was silenced as their former idol bagged an equaliser for the 10-man hosts just seven minutes later.

It was a trademark strike from Lampard, who opted not to celebrate, and after full-time in the 1-1 draw he headed over to the away end to thank the Chelsea fans for their support - and perhaps even apologise!
