It was a moment to warm the soul on a miserably dank early afternoon in south London.
Diego Costa had just scored his 13th Premier League goal in 17 matches for Chelsea this season and, after celebrating with his team-mates, ran over to the dugout to embrace his manager, Antonio Conte. Their hug would only last a short moment, but in those few seconds, we saw exactly what it is that has inspired Costa to propel Chelsea back to top of the Premier League this term.
The striker is in love with his manager and this time it isn't unrequited; Conte feels exactly the same way about him.
