The best strikers in the world are notoriously hard to keep quiet, as Costa has shown this season after a relatively quiet start to the previous one turned into a fight for pride after Mourinho’s sacking. With Middlesbrough in fighting form after promising performances at Arsenal and Manchester City, Costa scored the only goal of the game from a scrappy situation to give Chelsea their sixth consecutive league win and a top-of-the-table position for the first time since they were crowned Champions in 2015.
With this strike, Costa became the first player to reach double figures in the Premier League for the season and wrest initiative of the title race that they haven’t let go of ever since.
