Cesc Fabregas fires shot at Arsenal after Chelsea's FA Cup defeat

Cesc Fabregas has fired a parting shot at Arsenal by claiming Chelsea would prefer to win the Premier League title over the FA Cup.

Arsene Wenger’s side denied Antonio Conte’s men the chance to secure a domestic double this season as they sealed a 2-1 victory at Wembley on Saturday.

Chelsea were trailing after just four minutes following Alexis Sanchez’s controversial opener, while their afternoon got worse when Victor Moses was sent off for diving inside Arsenal’s box.

Diego Costa pulled Chelsea level but just three minutes later, Aaron Ramsey struck the winning goal to end Arsenal’s season on a high after their fifth-place finish in the Premier League.

Despite their defeat, Fabregas insists Chelsea’s campaign should still be classed as a success.

‘It wasn’t easy to lose, but it was still a good season,’ said the Spain international.

‘We go home with a bad taste.

‘But we would prefer to win the Premier League to the FA Cup, so it is still a good season.’
