Everton 3-6 Chelsea : 5 talking points
Taking on Everton at Goodison Park is no mean task. Putting in 6 past them? Now that’s impressive.Chelsea had their first real big test yesterday and boy did they pass it. They went to the lion’s den and not only escaped with the points, but rather slayed it. If there was a statement they could have made in regards to their title credentials, this was it.Meanwhile for the neutrals this was a feast for the eyes as we witnessed 9 goals in one exhilarating game. Here are 5 biggest talking points from the entertainment-palooza:
#1 Diego Costa is the real deal
3 games, 6 shots on target, 4 goals. This is as simply I can put it and this how easily Costa has emerged as the early front-runner for the Golden Boot this season.
If someone was still not convinced of Diego Costa’s ability, he/she should be by now. The World Cup might have drawn out some knives from the harshest of critics, but he has put them all to bed by now.
The sheer power, strength and finishing ability of the man is a thing to behold and while the major sides of the world are ready to fork out £50million and above, forgive me if I opine that £32million for Costa seems to be well worth the hustle.
The 6’2” beast of a forward not only excels while going forward, but also puts in a shift at the back when required to help his team out.
We already were well aware of the physically dominant nature of the Spaniard, but that’s not all that he brings to the table. His combination of a high footballing IQ and nifty movement helps create the passing lanes for his midfielders and allows him to excel at this level. He is the sight for the sore eyes, the answer to all the prayers for Chelsea fans.
