Updated: Diego Costa’s goal lifts Chelsea’s mood (Chelsea 2- 0 Aston Villa) -Vanguard

By


Chelsea’s Diego Costa lifted the mood of the distressed Mourinho’s side after getting his goal following a horrendous mistake made by Aston Villa’s back.

Villa may have played the better football in this first half, but a horrendous mistake at the back has cost them dearly. Guzan’s poor pass to Lescott is cut out by Willian, who then charges into the box and squares for Costa to tap the ball in from close range. It was a howler from the keeper and it has suddenly lifted the mood at Stamford Bridge.
Recall that the Blues have endured a miserable start to the new season and have won just two of their eight league matches.
It’s another cruel blow for Villa, as Chelsea double their lead thanks to a second goal for Costa. The Blues break quickly and the Brazilian is picked out by a pass over the top from Fabregas. He then cuts inside onto his right foot and fires in a drive which takes a huge deflection of Hutton and leaves Guzan wrong footed as it drops into the net.

But Washington said it would work with Buhari to likely increase the US’ level of support though it did not say whether that would include sales of lethal weapons earlier requested for by the Federal Government. The US Assistant Secretary, Bureau of African Affairs, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, during a telephone press briefing on Monday, held in South Africa at the 25th African Union Summit, and monitored by our correspondent in Lagos, stated that Washington was committed to ensuring that Nigeria wins its battle against the terrorist group. “Fighting terrorism is not easy.
