If Antonio Conte's aim was to get some sort of reaction out of Diego Costa when he decided to drop him for the FA Cup semi-final against Tottenham Hotspur, then it worked spectacularly.
Costa's head appeared already in China, with his form having fallen spectacularly since that offer in January from the Far East. He had stopped scoring and was going AWOL in games.
Then on Tuesday, just in time for the Premier League title run-in, Costa came back with a bang.
Tottenham will travel to Crystal Palace on Wednesday understandably feeling frustrated.
