Oscar gave the impulse as Chelsea retaliated for their first annihilation of the season against Newcastle to keep their spot at the highest point of the Premier League.
Having neglected to claim triumph in their past two Premier League trips, Jose Mourinho's title hopefuls were not getting it done on Saturday however adapted well to Newcastle's risk.
At last, they struck at key times either side of the break to go two focuses clear of Manchester City at the highest point of the Premier League, taking after the champions' 1-1 draw with Everton.
The hosts were on the back foot for long spells of the first half yet drove at the break when Oscar changed over Branislav Ivanovic's cross from short proximity.
There was almost no that fit-again Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul could do about that strike on his come back from a lower leg harm, and the Dutchman was correspondingly vulnerable when Costa made it two equitable before the hour mark.
John Carver at the end of the day drove Newcastle taking after Alan Pardew's late takeoff, and any long haul substitution in the burrow will probably take positives from their execution, much after a fifth straight Premier League away amusement without a win.
In spite of having persevered through a troublesome few weeks with Pardew's passageway and the FA Cup annihilation to Leicester City, Newcastle began well, with Moussa Sissoko's exertion on target and Remy Cabella looking energetic right off the bat.
Cabella was a piece of four progressions from the 3-3 draw with Burnley last time out in the Premier League and the Frenchman ran close with a twisted exertion 19 minutes in that avoided wide off John Terry.
In any case, Chelsea offered an indication of their quality on the break, with Jack Colback needed to make a convenient capture.
Oscar terminated wide from inside the region when he maybe ought to have improved, despite the fact that it was Newcastle who kept on threatenning - Cabella cutting in from the privilege and driving a savvy save from Petr Cech, liked to Thibaut Courtois in the Chelsea objective.
Sissoko struck the outside of Cech's left-hand post after the half-hour mark, with Cesar Azpilicueta's harm upheld withdrawal apparently adding to Mourinho's dissatisfactions before the end of the half.
Notwithstanding, slack safeguarding expense Newcastle dear just before half-time as Willian discovered an unmarked Ivanovic from a snappy corner and the Serb's conveyance arrived at Oscar, who committed no error with the completion.
Costa ought to have multiplied Chelsea's lead ahead of schedule in the second half however he let go over from inside the region, with the Spain universal irate soon subsequently as arbitrator Roger East waved away his punishment requests emulating a clear handball from Fabricio Coloccini.
Mourinho's men were appreciating their best spell of the diversion and Costa soon multiplied the playing point following 59 minutes by terminating past Krul taking after a shrewd flick-on from Oscar inside the territory.
As Newcastle toiled trying to get go into the diversion, Costa was then denied a second by Coloccini's freedom, yet at last Mourinho's side guaranteed their first purposes of 2015 no sweat.
