Chelsea steward sacked for calling Cesc Fabregas a snake because of Arsenal roots

Cesc Fabregas was called a snake by a steward at Stamford Bridge

 

A video of the incident at Stamford Bridge, which took place earlier this season, emerged online on Friday and Chelsea confirmed action had been taken against the steward.

"You're a snake, you're Arsenal," the steward says to the Spain midfielder in the video.

Fabregas returns to his former club with Chelsea in the  Premier League on Sunday.

Fabregas was captain at Arsenal and made 503 appearances for the club.

He left the Emirates in 2011 for boyhood club Barcelona but returned to the Premier League in 2014.

Fabregas helped the Blues to the Premier League title last season but has struggled this term.
