Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes midfielder Cesc Fabregas is
showing similar characterisitcs to that of Manchester United
midfielder Paul Scholes following the Spaniards goalscoring
streak.
"I made a tape of him last year and you wouldn't believe how many
chances he had, in some games he had three," said Wenger, whose
team saw off Pompey despite being down to ten men for much of the
second half.
"When he was a young boy he scored goals and that's a nice disease
to have, sometimes it disappears but it always comes back when you
are mature.
"He has a lot of characteristics of Paul Scholes I think. Frame,
intelligence in the game, passing ability, knowing when to go in
the box. He's only 20, people forget that."
