Hiddink: Other players must do Fabregas' defensive work

Guus Hiddink wants Cesc Fabregas to focus on creating things as his Chelsea team-mates give him a hand with his defensive work.

Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink feels Cesc Fabregas is at his best when he does not have to worry about his defensive duties and can solely focus on creating chances for his teammates.

The Spain midfielder put in a superb performance in the 4-1 win over AFC Bournemouth over the weekend, setting up three goals to take his all-time assist tally in the Premier League to 95.

Hiddink was impressed with Fabregas' performance at the Vitality Stadium and believes it is key to the former Arsenal captain's success that his teammates look after his defensive work.
