Diego Costa celebrates goal on return to side against Hull on his 100th Chelsea appearance – with message that says ‘I’m going nowhere’

DIEGO COSTA netted the opening goal as Chelsea took the lead against Hull, before celebrating with a gesture that screamed: I'm going nowhere.

The Spanish forward, playing in his 100th game in all competitions for the Blues, scored in the fifth minute of first-half stoppage time before unfurling a 'flappy hand' celebration.

The gesture certainly suggested Costa - who scored his 52nd goal for the club - believes all the talk surrounding a spat with boss Antonio Conte and potential move away is 'all talk'.

And it's fair to say Chelsea fans not only enjoyed the goal but the celebration - and it's apparent meaning - too...
