Diego Costa Stars As Diego Simone's Men Win UEFA Super Cup - 5 Talking Points by Josephmorgan(op): 10:44pm On Aug 15, 2018

Diego Costa grabbed a brace as Atletico Madrid came from behind to beat arch rivals Real Madrid and lift the UEFA Super Cup.

The former Chelsea striker fired Diego Simeone's side in front after just 49 seconds as he beat Keylor Navas at his near post.

Karim Benzema levelled for Real as he combined well with Gareth Bale in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo to head home.

And Sergio Ramos looked to have earned the Champions League winners victory when he fired home from the spot midway through the second half.

But Costa would not be denied and he finished from close range with a little over 10 minutes remaining.

His equaliser took the tie into extra time and Saul Niquez settled it in style with a stunning volley before Koke made sure with Atletico's fourth.

Here are five talking points from Tallinn...
