'World class' Cesc Fabregas gave farewell speech to Chelsea team-mates, says David Luiz

The Blues defender is sad to see his team-mate depart, after accepting the captain's armband from him in his final appearance for the club

Cesc Fabregas gave an emotional farewell speech to his Chelsea team-mates following what was likely to be his final appearance in English football on Saturday, according to David Luiz.

Chelsea beat Nottingham Forest 2-0 at Stamford Bridge thanks to two goals from Alvaro Morata. The striker saved Fabregas' blushes after he missed a penalty on his 501st and last appearance in England.

Fabregas captained Chelsea on his final bow, but handed the armband to Luiz when he left the field in the 85th minute to be replaced by N'Golo Kante.
