London: Chelsea went seven points clear at the top of the EPL table with seven games to play after Cesc Fabregas' late goal sealed a 1-0 win away to strugglers Queens Park Rangers yesterday.


Chelsea's Cesc Fabregas controls the ball during the EPL match against Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road Stadium in London yesterday 

It seemed Jose Mourinho's side would have to settle for a draw at Loftus Road in this clash between the two west London clubs at Loftus Road. But after Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois had made a couple of fine saves, Fabregas broke the deadlock two minutes from time.

From a poor clearance by QPR goalkeeper Robert Green, Eden Hazard and Oscar worked the ball down the left before Spain midfielder and former Arsenal favourite Fabregas side-footed the ball in from 16 yards.
