Costa guaranteed he kept up his record of scoring in every amusement since his £32m move from Atletico Madrid when he discovered the net after only 35 seconds, running on to a flawlessly weighted pass from an alternate fresh introduction, Cesc Fabregas.
Minutes after the fact Branislav Ivanovic made it 2-0, despite the fact that there was a clue of offside about his completion from Ramires' pass.
