Diego Costa scored his first goal for Chelsea today in their pre-season friendly over in Slovenia against NK Olimpija Ljubljana.

Check out the video below of the Spanish international’s fine strike for the Blues:

Fellow new signing Cesc Fàbregas played the through pass to set the Brazilian-born striker on in goal before finishing well.

Chelsea were 1-0 down at half-time whilst fielding a strong line-up on their pre-season tour around Europe. Goals from Diego Costa and Kurt Zouma in the second half gave the Premier League side a 2-1 victory.

The Blues were held 1-1 at Wolfsberger AC on Wednesday. On Wednesday, José Mourinho’s side play Dutch Eredivisie opposition Vitesse, for whom the chairmen for each side are good friends. Their tour then concludes with German Bundesliga side Werder Bremen and Hungarian opposition Ferencváros before hosting Spanish La Liga side Real Sociedad at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday 12 August in their final pre-season fixture.

The Portugese manager lined up new signing Fàbregas alongside Nemanja Matić in front of the back four. Kurt Zouma played alongside Gary Cahill in the defence in what looked like the potential back four for the upcoming season, minus John Terry.

Diego Costa started the game as the lone striker in the 4-2-3-1 formation that Mourinho used last season is expected to again in 2014-15.

The following players started for Chelsea in today’s friendly:

Matej Delač; César Azpilicueta, Gary Cahill, Kurt Zouma, Filipe Luís; Nemanja Matić, Cesc Fàbregas; Isiah Brown, Jeremie Boga, Mohamed Salah; Diego Costa

Chelsea start their 2014-15 Premier League season at newly-promoted Burnley on Monday 18 August. The following Saturday they host Championship winners Leicester City.

José Mourinho’s side are the bookmakers’ favourites to win the Premier League this season after finishing third and four points behind champions Manchester City in the Portuguese manager’s first season back in London. They are the popular choice by many following the signings of Cesc Fàbregas, Diego Costa, Filipe Luís and Didier Drogba.
