Welcome home, Diego
Diego Costa was back at Stamford Bridge yesterday afternoon for the first time in five years. The snarling, combative, aggressive and hugely talented forward spearheaded two Premier League title wins for Chelsea and a League Cup triumph under Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte before leaving under a cloud for Atletico Madrid.
Yet there is no animosity held toward the 34-year-old by Chelsea supporters. Costa is remembered fondly, and there were cheers from the home fans inside Stamford Bridge when his name was read out prior to the clash with Wolves. And they only grew louder throughout the afternoon.
