And it was a superb through-ball from fellow substitute Cesc Fabregas which set Costa away in the closing stages, with the striker making no mistake as he fired home another match-winning goal to give Antonio Conte’s side a second 2-1 win of the season.

Having relied on a late Costa strike to beat West Ham on Monday, Conte’s men were largely disappointing but found a way to win. It’s just the start of the season, but if we want to stay at the top we have to win.
“After a bad season like a year ago s, it s not easy to start in a good way and win games, and it won t be easy, so we must know that we have to continue”.
“We are all very proud of the way we played, the staff and the players”. It’s all nice and well to celebrate the 1-1, but we came for the win. “It was important in these two games to win because you can continue to work as confidence rises”, Conte said. “It’s a good family and a good team”. He has great potential, but with any young player you must work to put them in the first team.
“Diego is working hard like the other players but he can improve a lot”.
The Blues manager, who was named as Guus Hiddink’s successor earlier this year, signed Belgium worldwide Michy Batshuayi in a £33m deal from Ligue 1 side Marseille at the start of July. What is safe to say is that we are in for a special season in the Premier League but When have we never seen that before? It may be said too much in football but patience really is a virtue and Chelsea fans will be more than happy to watch their side scrape victories up until this quality returns for good, although i can not speak for all. We can hold our heads high. Both goals were our errors.
