Chelsea 3-0 Wolves: Diego Costa got standing ovation after being subbed off

Diego Costa returned to Stamford Bridge with Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday afternoon. The fiery Spanish striker was signed as a free agent back in September and made a first start for his new club against former employers Chelsea.

Given the fact he’s barely played football at the very highest level over the last 12 months or so, Costa was a tad rusty in west London.

To be honest, that analysis is probably being too kind on him, with the former Atletico Madrid man having little to impact on proceedings.

Costa didn’t make it to the hour mark at Stamford Bridge, temporary Wolves manager Steve Davis sending on Hwang Hee-chan on for him in the 57th minute of play.
