Chelsea ended a three-game losing streak by putting in a convincing performance en route to beating Norwich City 1-0 at Stamford Bridge. The winner was scored by Diego Costa midway through the second half. The Spaniard ended his long drought after latching onto a quick free-kick from Cesc Fabregas, beating a defender and curling the ball past John Ruddy.

That was Diego Costa’s first goal in nearly 500 minutes of playing time. Great timing to get back on track! #cfc — Jake Cohen (@JakeFCohen) November 21, 2015

There was a marked improvement in the performances of several individuals who have been heavily criticised this season. The likes of Cesc Fabregas, Nemanja Matic and John Terry all had solid games, while Eden Hazard finally re-produced his form from last season in a man-of-the-match performance. The Belgian took on and beat players with ease, and moved silkily across every area of the pitch. This aspect of his game had gone completely missing from his game up until now, and it was a great sight to see last season’s Player of the Year almost back to his best.

Expectedly enough, Twitter was full of praise for Hazard’s performance.

The feel-good factor around Stamford Bridge seemed to be back to slight extent, but one would feel that Chelsea’s next assignment – an away to White Hart Lane against an in-form Spurs side, will tell us a lot more about their character and fight. But for now, they can enjoy the moment. Chelsea 1-0 Norwich City
