Costa back to his best as he nets 50th Chelsea goal

Diego Costa chalked up his 50th Chelsea goal at Crystal Palace on Saturday to cap a stunning return to form.

The Spain international’s headed effort from a Cesar Azpilicueta delivery was his 13th Premier League goal of the season – more than he could muster in the entire 2015-16 campaign.

Despite those goalscoring heroics, his fifth yellow card of the season means he will miss Chelsea’s Boxing Day clash with Bournemouth.

50 – Diego Costa has scored 50 goals in all competitions for Chelsea; 17 more than any other player for the club since his debut. Warhead.
