#5 Diego Costa channeling his aggression in the right way
Diego Costa is a highly polarising figure. Chelsea fans love him and the rest of the footballing world? Not so much. The Brazilian-born forward always plays on the edge and that is both his greatest strength and biggest weakness. Last season, we saw a Costa who was prone to getting into confrontations and receiving bans from the FA.
This season, we’ve seen the other side of the coin. We’ve seen the Costa who chases everything down, riles up defenders, and displays lethal finishing. The Spanish international has led the line brilliantly for the Blues, scoring late winners in the first two games and bullying the Burnley defence in the third, setting up Willian for a cracking goal in the process.
