Chelsea beat Wolves 3-0 at Stamford Extension after Graham Potter had rolled out six improvements to his Blues side.
Diego Costa was making his re-visitation of west London in his initial beginning for Wolves since joining on a free arrangement
The host group had ruled the game before Kai Havertz changed over Bricklayer Mount's cross for the opener
Christian Pulisic then, at that point, scored Chelsea's second after a splendid one-two with Mount inside the Wolves box
Armando Broja then scored the hosts' third in the perishing minutes in the wake of hooking onto Mateo Kovacic's pass
Costa's replacement got the game's most intense commendation with the Chelsea fans showing their appreciation
In the event that this felt similar to Diego Costa's tribute, it shouldn't have done. Wolverhampton, strong here in the main game since firing Bruno Lage, are in some hot water and whether Costa, flabby and without a club since ending his contact with Atletico Mineiro in January is the man to save them is a disputable issue.
Even however, what a second. After he had heaved and puffed for 56 minutes on his initial beginning for his new club, driving the line with industriousness yet not exactly the hazard of old, his time was up. His number was called and on came Hwang Hee-Chan as Costa continued to wend his direction gradually, along the touchline and before the Matthew Harding Stand, back to the Wolves recovered.
Stamford Extension rose as one to approval him. He might be the model bad guy elsewhere on the planet, other than the red and white quarters of Madrid, yet here he stays a legend. Costa, touchy as could be, reacted to, recognizing them, clench hand knocking and hitting hands with first column fans. 'Diego! Diego!' they recited, the Chelsea fans, that is. It was endearing stuff.
