The Antonio Conte era at Chelsea is off to a fine start. The Blues, playing their Premier League opener at Stamford Bridge, beat West Ham 2-1 on Monday as Diego Costa scored the winner in the 89th minute.
After taking the lead early in the first half off an Eden Hazard penalty kick, the Hammers responded via James Collins strike 77 minutes in.
Costa, looking to show that he is the man up top for Chelsea, finished from outside the box with skill to win the three points with just a minute left in regulation. Take a look.

That's big time passion from the Italian tactician. But let's be honest, he is no Miguel 'El Piojo' Herrera.
