Conte lauds Chelsea's milestone man Fabregas

Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte heaped praise on Cesc Fabregas after the midfielder celebrated his 300th Premier League appearance with a goal.

Spain international Fabregas enjoyed a perfect milestone game as he scored in Chelsea's 3-1 win at home to Swansea City.

Asked about Fabregas' performance at Stamford Bridge, Conte said: "Cesc played a really good game but it's important for me to have these solutions and also to analyse each game and understand when we need to have a player with more quality.

"For me, I consider Nemanja [Matic], [N'Golo] Kante and Fabregas all top players.

"I'm very pleased to see him in this form, despite the fact he didn't start the last league game.

"This is the right way to continue. I'm pleased to have these type of players, to have that is fantastic as a coach."
