Willian (L) and Diego Costa (R) of Chelsea show their dejection after conceding the first goal to Stoke City during the Barclays Premier League match between Stoke City and Chelsea at Britannia Stadium on November 7, 2015 in Stoke on Trent, England.

Diego Costa scored the winning goal for the reigning English champions, netting his first for the club in seven games.
“In the end he played as an aggressive full-back going forward”.
The Blues eventually broke the deadlock in the 63rd minute, as Costa did well to beat his marker, before calmly slotting into the bottom corner.
Costa has been struggling to score goals this season and has recorded more cards than goals already while summer signing Radamel Falcao has failed to impress since his arrival during the summer transfer window and Loic Remy is also not doing good. “It was important for him”.
“We were good in the movement and fluid and Hazard created chances for us and I think today was good for his confidence because he is a player that was not performing especially well”.
They moved a step up from 16th to 15th and now have 14 points.
“That little lapse in concentration ultimately cost us the match”, he said. I was feeling it and the gamers have been feeling it too.
“Even more than them, we deserve it, I deserve it, the players deserve it. It’s time also for us to give a positive answer, which I think we are giving, but not in the results”.
Jose Mourinho sprung quite the surprise on his team sheet ahead of kick off. We’re not talking about the fact that Branislav Ivanovic was somehow picked again at right full back, but instead, Kenedy’s selection on the other side.

Jose Mourinho says retaining the Premier League title is an “inconceivable mission” for Chelsea, suggesting Hollywood star Tom Cruise may need a greater probability of guiding the staff to success. “I will not ask any change to the board for January”. So it’s an opportunity for him to become a better player. To recover points to teams who are normally in the middle of the table and to catch one of the teams who will have a bit of a collapse for sure, because everybody will have one, is a possible target’.
