Fabregas dedicates goal to Daniel Jarque

Cesc Fabregas dedicated his second goal against Everton to Daniel Jarque, the Espanyol captain who died recently of a heart attack, aged 26.

After scoring the goal in the 70th minute, the 22-year-old ran over to the Arsenal bench where he held aloft a shirt with 'Jarque' and the number 21, which he wore for the past five seasons.

Like Fabregas, Jarque was born in Barcelona and the pair played together in the same Spain Under-21s side. The 26-year-old died suddenly of a heart attack during Espanyol's pre-season tour of Italy earlier this month.
