Chelsea fans give a standing ovation to their former striker Diego Costa as he's taken off by Wolves

Diego Costa enjoyed being back at Stamford Bridge, soaking up the cheers from all corners of the ground after being subbed off in Wolves visit to Chelsea.

Costa, who played for the Blues between 2014 and 2017, started for his new club Wolves on Saturday, and enjoyed a standing ovation from the Chelsea fans when he left the pitch after 57 minutes.

Chelsea were leading at that point 2-0 with a goal by Kai Havertz in first-half stoppage time, and an additional strike by Christian Pulisic nine minutes after the restart.
