Diego Costa was the signing of the summer in the Premier League. The superstar, and league leader in scoring is a big part of what the Blues are fulfilling preseason expectations and sitting atop the table right now. Costa is getting it done for club and tonight he did it for country, scoring his first goal since he switched affiliation from Brazil to Espana.

Diego Costa got his brace in the 69th minute, and it put Spain up 3-nil on Luxembourg. They would go on to win 4-nil as Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea got his first start for Rojo, replacing Iker Casillas. The result was a clean sheet for #DaveSaves.
Back to Diego Costa, from ESPN FC:
“After the embarrassment of last week’s defeat, the stage was set for Spain to make amends with a goal glut.
“Chelsea hotshot Diego Costa has found goals easy to come by in the Premier League but failed to score for Spain in six previous appearances.”
