The Spain international slid in and caught the new signing on the top of his foot in the second half of the Blues' 1-0 win and the referee Baldomero Toledo immediately brandished a red card.
"It's a red card. He (Fabregas) came by us in the dressing room and said sorry," Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp told his post-match press conference.
"He came too late in the challenge, of course. Sometimes in life if you are too late you get a red card, especially in football."
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte had no issues with Fabregas' red card. "In this period the fatigue can sometimes bring a bit of going too late. I know Fabregas is a good man and it is not his habit to have this sort of situation."
