Two early goals from Chelsea new signing Diego Costa on his home debut gave Chelsea a 2-0 win over Spanish la liga club Real Sociedad in their final pre-season game at Stamford Bridge.
Diego Costa scores a brace in Chelsea's 2-0 win over Real Sociedad in a pre-season friendly
Brazilian-born Spanish striker Costa, who joined for £32m from Atletico Madrid this summer, slid home the first from Ramires' pass inside the first minute.
In the 7th minute of the game, Costa scored the second goal came from a tap-in after Germany World Cup-winner Andre Schurrle's curling shot bounced off the far post.
Diego Costa missed out on a hat-trick when he fired wide from Eden Hazard's cross.
Like the Spaniard, Hazard also disappointed at the World Cup, but on a wet night in west London there were glimpses of his brilliant form of last season.
Chelsea created very few other chances. Ramires failed to hit the target from 12 yards, Fernando Torres headed over in the second half while Oscar was brilliantly denied by keeper Enaut Zubikarai.
Manager Jose Mourinho brought on left-back Filipe Luis, who also recently joined from Atletico, after the interval for his first Stamford Bridge appearance.
The Blues, who finished third in the league last season, open up their 2014-15 campaign at newly-promoted Burnley on Monday.
