Diego Costa

Goals from Diego Costa and Kurt Zouma ensured Chelsea came back to beat Olimpija Ljubljana 2-1 after a first half scare.

Despite dominating possession in the first half, the Blues fell behind when Nik Kapun fired past young goalkeeper Matej Delac five minutes before half time.

After making a host of substitutions, however, Chelsea fought their way back into the match, with striker Diego Costa raced onto a Cesc Fabregas pass before finishing well, while Kurt Zouma also netted as Jose Mourinho's men came from a goal down to record a hard-fought victory.

Everton and Leicester were also in action overseas, playing each other in Bangkok in a contest the Foxes won 1-0.
