WATCH: Chris Forrester draws Michael Carrick comparisons with sumptuous pass for Peterborough goal

He absolutely minced Fabregas too

It was an eventful day for Peterborough United’s talented Irishman.

The 24-year-old skipper has made huge waves on the other side of the sea in record quick time and his potential has excited football fans on both islands.

It wasn’t a great day on the whole for the Dubliner, his side went down 4-1 to Chelsea in the FA Cup third round and he’ll take no solace from any other little thing.

He might, at least, count himself lucky for staying on the field after clattering Fabregas after just 23 minutes of play at Stamford Bridge.

Naturally, that challenge didn’t go down too well with the Chelsea fans or the Spaniard who received a caution a minute later.

But Forrester carried on with his usual leader-of-men like play. He wins ball back and he spreads ball around like he’s weaving a wand.

It was his skill, his precision, and his glorious vision that forced John Terry into receiving a straight red.

And it was Forrester who brought about Peterborough’s only goal of the game when his gorgeous weight of pass sent a team mate away down the right flank.

This man is going places. And he’s going there in a hurry.
