The result means Jose Mourinho’s league leaders have gone eight games unbeaten so far this season, evoking memories of Arsenal’s title winning side of 2003-04.
However, Fabregas who joined the Gunners in 2003 as a 16-year-old, says his current team do not compare to that legendary Arsenal side.
“No, no, this is a joke. This is a joke. There will only be one team who can do that - the Arsenal ‘Invincibles’ team of 2003,” he told Sky Sports when asked if Chelsea can emulate his former club.
"I was part of it a little bit at the end and it was a different class team.
"I don't think we are there yet, but we're building up a young, talented, solid team and hopefully we can get into the final part of the season with options for winning everything."
Oscar opened the scoring for Chelsea against Crystal Palace in an eventful match which saw Cesar Azpilicueta and Damien Delaney sent off and Fabregas was impressed with his side’s second-half showing.
“We played a great second half especially for 10 against 10,” he added.
“Oscar's fantastic goal helped us and after the break it was a completely different game. It was a solid performance.
“I play deeper now so it will not be a party every game for me.
“I will go five or six games without a goal or an assist at times and I am more proud about our discipline.
