Atletico Madrid this summer, slid home the first from
Ramires' pass inside the opening minute.
His second was a tap-in after Germany World Cup-
winner Andre Schurrle's curling shot bounced off the
far post. Costa missed out on a hat-trick when he
fired wide from Eden Hazard's cross.
Like the Spaniard, Hazard also disappointed at the
World Cup, but on a wet night in west London there
were glimpses of his brilliant form of last season.
Chelsea created very few other chances. Ramires
failed to hit the target from 12 yards, Fernando
Torres headed over in the second half while Oscar
was brilliantly denied by keeper Enaut Zubikarai.
Manager Jose Mourinho brought on left-back Filipe
Luis, who also recently joined from Atletico, after the
interval for his first Stamford Bridge appearance.
The Blues, who finished third in the league last
season, open up their 2014-15 campaign at newly-
promoted Burnley on Monday.
