Diego Costa thanked Chelsea for three remarkable and unforgettable years as he bid farewell to the Premier League champions.

Costa, 28, will return to Atletico Madrid in January after his move from Chelsea was finalised on Tuesday.

It´s not the optimum way – Chelsea´s Lampard says Premier League should scrap early kick-offs

Frank Lampard has warned that the Premier League is undermining its own product by asking Chelsea to travel to Newcastle United for an early Saturday kick-off straight after the international break.

The Chelsea boss is amazed league chiefs expect his players to return from duty with their countries, some flying in from different continents, and then face another sapping journey before their feet have barely touched the ground.

Chelsea have a curiously poor recent record at Newcastle, having lost on five of their past seven visits to St James Park (W1 D1), and their hopes of improving on that have not been helped by the timing of this weekend s game.

A 12:30 GMT start on Saturday is distinctly unhelpful, Lampard believes, at a time when he feels the Premier League…
