Diego Costa takes a selfie with Gunners legend Thierry Henry

COSTA AND HENRY

They may be heroes with rival London clubs, but the mutual respect between Diego Costa and Thierry Henry goes beyond club boundaries.

Chelsea striker Costa met former Arsenal forward Henry on Thursday, and the Brazilian seemed delighted to have met one of the Premier League's deadliest marksmen.

He shared a selfie of the pair of them on Instagram, with the caption: 'Great afternoon today being interviewed by the amazing star Thierry Henry'.

While it was Henry doing the interviewing for Sky Sports, Costa may well have wanted to ask a few questions of the Frenchman about finishing as he struggles to break an uncharacteristic goal drought.

Costa has scored just three goals in his last eight league games and none in his last four, having managed 14 in 19 to help Chelsea build a commanding Premier League lead.

This hasn't hampered Chelsea too much however, as they remain seven points above second-placed Tottenham Hotspur in the title race.

His teammate, Marcos Alonso, has backed the forward to return to his goalscoring ways on Sunday against Manchester United.

He said: 'Diego has been massive for Chelsea this season. He has almost scored 20 goals and that is a significant contribution, but it's not just about that, with the way we play, he is very important.

'The pressure is there. It's good to play with this pressure because it means we are fighting for titles and trying to stay up there.


'It's good to have someone like Diego around who is funny and provides something to enjoy. Being in this position is something that should always be enjoyed.'
