Lord Attenborough: Chelsea Pay Tribute to Life President

Chelsea have paid tribute to Richard Attenborough, who died on Sunday at the age of 90.
The Oscar-winning film director and Blues fan was the club's life president and served on the board at Stamford Bridge from 1969 to 1982.

The team will wear black armbands as a tribute to Lord Attenborough in their next game, at Everton on Saturday.

"Chelsea Football Club is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our life president," said a club statement.

Diego Costa Scored Twice in 10 Minutes

Diego Costa scored twice in the first 10 minutes on his home debut as Chelsea completed their pre-season with a 2-0 win over Spanish side Real Sociedad.

Spain striker Costa, who joined for £32m from Atletico Madrid this summer, slid home the first from Ramires' pass inside the opening minute.

His second was a tap-in after Germany World Cup-winner Andre Schurrle's curling shot bounced off the far post.
