Antonio Conte couldn’t hide his excitement when Diego Costa at the 89th minute struck the ball into the net and got the winner for Chelsea over West Ham United which ended 2-1. The game was played on Monday and it was the first premiership league game for the new Manager.

In the first half, Eden Hazard opened the floor with a penalty in the 10th minute at Stamford Bridge. West Ham’s player James Collins, about the 77th minute, equalized in the second half of the game.

Most fans argued that Costa ought to get a yellow card for a late challenge on West Ham’s goalkeeper Adrian. After the challenge, he stayed on and scored from 20 yards into the bottom left corner of West Ham’s goal-post.

In an interview with Sky Sports, Antonio Conte said that his team played a good game and with great intensity. He also said that he was pleased with the performance of his team during the game, but there is room for improvement. He was asked about the late challenge Costa made on West Ham’s keeper, and he replied that he didn’t see it.

At the 85th minute, Chelsea’s Manager made some tactical changes by bringing in Michy Batshuayi for his debut in exchange for Oscar. He also brought in Victor Moses who was on loan at West Ham throughout last season. This two changes added stability to Chelsea’s side. Antonio’s intention for bringing in Moses was to add more power to the attack although the game was almost over. This decision paid off as Chelsea got all the three points, and are currently third place in the league table. Chelsea fans are eager to see what the new manager has in store for the team.
