Arsenal Haven't Won Anything Yet — Fabregas Warns

Former Arsenal skipper Cesc Fabregas has sent out a warning to the Gunners not to get over-excited after moving 7-point clear at the top of the table.

Arsenal cruised to a 4-2 win over Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday although the match almost took a huge turn when a late goal from Kaoru Mitoma made the scoreline 4-3 in the 90th minute before the goal was ruled off by Video Assistant Referee (VAR) as offside.

Speaking after the match Fabregas told the Arsenal players, fans and his former teammate that "they haven't won anything yet" but they are definitely going in the right direction.

“Mikel was my team-mate and he helped me a lot when I was very young, he knows the game properly. They haven’t won anything yet, but they are definitely going in the right way.”

Fabregas 35, who had spells at Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea before spending the rest of his playing days at Monaco also praised Mikel Arteta.

“If we had listened to certain people at a time when Arsenal finished eighth and not doing that well, then maybe Mikel wouldn’t be there,” Fabregas told The Times.

But they gave him the time that was needed to develop his own style, his own players coming in, making his own thing.
