West Brom 3-0 Chelsea

No matter how many times you watch the dropped volley that inexplicably left the boot of Cesc Fabregas and smacked Chris Brunt on the side of his head, two questions remain. How, and why?

It was struck with such unerring accuracy that it belonged in a coaching academy, a masterclass in target practice from 20 yards when he hit the West Brom midfielder’s bonce.

The result left referee Mike Jones with little option but to send off Fabregas for violent conduct. It was a daft thing for Fabregas to do.
