Fabregas Debut With New Club Ends In Draw

Former Chelsea midfilder Cesc Fabregas made his Monaco debut yesterday under Thierry Henry’s side held Marseille to a 1-1 draw

Fabregas joined the French side Monaco last week was powerless to prevent Maxime Lopez from firing Marseille ahead after 13 minutes.

Youri Tielemans equalised for the visitors with a well-taken goal seven minutes before the break.

Florian Thauvin had a goal ruled out by VAR in the second half as Monaco held on for a share of the spoils.

Monaco remain four points off safety, although they do have a game in hand on 17th-placed Amiens.

Marseille, who started the weekend in sixth, slip three places to ninth after victories for Nice, Rennes and Strasbourg
