Conte vs Costa: Chelsea’s boss wins battle on and off the pitch

The Blues striker was left out of his side’s win in Leicester City but his manager’s decision was vindicated at the King Power Stadium Antonio Conte avoided a heap of pressure after Chelsea managed to win away to Leicester City without his talismanic striker, Diego Costa, after the pair fell out over a big-money offer from China. Marcos Alonso stepped up to provide the two killer blows against the Foxes, opening the scoring after Eden Hazard found him with a clever pass in the sixth minute and he soon doubled the lead with a shot from the edge of the box which deflected off Wes Morgan and squirmed past Kasper Schmeichel.
