Both Diego Costa and Eden Hazard enjoyed a wonderful game against Leicester City, with both getting on the score sheet – the Spaniard continuing his fine form in front of goal.
However, instead of getting carried away like many do upon finding the back of the net, the Blues duo took to opportunity to honor a team-mate who recently lost a loved one.
HT: Diego Costa and Hazard give @ChelseaFC a 2-0 lead over @LCFC

Brazilian playmaker Willian sadly witnessed his mother pass away this week after she lost her battle with cancer. Returning to his home country for the funeral, the player was thus given time off – compassionate leave – in order to grieve, missing the clash with the reigning English Premier League winner.
The London giants steamrolled past the Foxes, and Costa and Hazard both dedicated their goals to their heartbroken buddy.
The Spaniard made the letter “W’ after scoring, whilst the Belgian wizard held up two twos, or 22 – Willian’s jersey number. Check out the best tweets.

Nice touch from Eden Hazard after his goal. Presumably "22" salute for Willian who is away on compassionate leave after his mother died #CFC pic.twitter.com/3isMxOkhTi
