Cesc Fabregas: Arsenal legend says 2010 goal v Burnley 'wouldn't be allowed' today

Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri linked up in fine style for Arsenal back in March 2010 as the Spaniard scored one of the Gunners’ best goals of the season against Burnley at the Emirates.

The two sides entered the clash in north London with very different challenges in front of them. Arsenal were chasing Champions League football, while Burnley were battling against relegation.

The Clarets did well to keep the match goalless until just after the half-hour mark Nasri and Fabregas combined brilliantly to break the deadlock, much to the delight of the home faithful.

Some free-flowing interplay between the pair was finished off by Fabregas following a superb lob into the box by Nasri.

This week marks 12 years since the magnificent goal was scored. In celebration, @Gunnersc0m uploaded a clip of it to their Twitter account, tagging Cesc in the post while doing so.

However, it was his former colleague Nasri that first commented on the tweet.
