Middlesbrough Vs Chelsea
Chelsea beats Middlesbrough 1-0
Goal Scorer - Diego Costa(41st minute)
Diego Costa has been involved in 13 Premier League goals (10 goals and three assists) this season - more than any other player
After an even
start, Chelsea upped the tempo and deservedly led at the break when
Costa reacted quickest to drill in a loose ball inside the Boro box.
The Blues continued to create chances, Pedro going closest when he smacked a rising drive against the crossbar.
Boro's best chance came when Alvaro Negredo's 78th-minute volley was saved.
It was the only time the home side forced Blues keeper Thibaut Courtois into a serious stop as they lost for the first time in four matches.
Chelsea leapfrogged Liverpool and Manchester City to go a point clear, while Boro remain one point above the relegation zone in 15th place.
