Chelsea 1-0 Norwich: Diego Costa Winner Relieves The Pressure On Jose Mourinho

Chelsea celebrated at last. And indeed it was a relief for the Blues players, Manager and fans. The win meant a lot for Jose Mourinho as it may be a turning point for Chelsea.

After missing a host of chances, Diego Costa netted after 64 minutes to hand the beleaguered champions a much-needed win.

Diego Costa Celebrating

Diego Costa ended his six-game goalless run with the winner to stop the Chelsea rot. The Spain striker curled in a 64th-minute finish and raised his arm in relief as his barren run came to an end.

The victory prevented the Champions, 16th at the start of play, from losing four matchers in succession for the first time under Roman Abramovich.

Boss Jose Mourinho also enjoyed only his third clean sheet in Chelsea’s 13 League games this season.

Norwich’s run of not winning an away game since August 15 continued here after chances were blown earlier by Nathan Redmond and Dieumercik Mbokani.
