The Welsh midfielder broke his leg following a Ryan Shawcross challenge and had to be stretchered from the field after several minutes of medical attention.[LNB]It is the third time in recent history that an Arsenal player has suffered such an injury and Fabregas believes the Gunners have been victims of their reputation as a team that can be roughed up.[LNB]"In five years I've seen three of them, Abou (Diaby), Eduardo and now Aaron. What can I say? It's difficult," the Spaniard told Sky Sports 1.[LNB]"You could say we are not protected enough. We are sometimes victims. I'm not complaining, football is like that.[LNB]"There are things that are a little too much but three times in five years is a little bit too much."[LNB]The scoreline was 1-1 when the incident happened but Arsenal managed to secure all three points thanks to late goals from Fabregas and Thomas Vermaelen.[LNB]Fabregas added: "We learned from when it happened to Eduardo, we lost a lead that day.[LNB]"It's very difficult to stand up but we showed character and knew if we won today we still had a lot to say (in the title race)."[LNB][LNB]
