Cesc Fabregas has paid tribute to Olivier Giroud after his four-goal haul for Chelsea against Sevilla.

The Frenchman, 34, walked off with the matchball after scoring a perfect hat-trick and a penalty in the 4-0 win in Spain last night.

And one man full of place for the forward is ex-Chelsea and Arsenal teammate Fabregas.

The now-Monaco midfielder described Giroud as a ‘real pro’ following the Frenchman’s patience at being left on the bench for most of the campaign.

And Fabregas also hailed Giroud as the perfect model for kids looking to reach the highest levels of the game.

He tweeted: “Olivier Giroud what a real pro you are mate. All young players should have you as a role model. Well done once again.

“And people still wonder why you always end up playing! Hard work, passion, dedication and real character to always turn things around.”
