•••Diego Costa Is A Special Player••• – Mourinho Praises Him After Scoring 3 Goals Against Swansea Today

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho hailed Diego Costa as “a special player” and claims his side are hard to stop. Costa fired a hat-trick in the 4-2 win against Swansea to take his tally to seven goals in just four games since his summer arrival from Atletico Madrid. Chelsea had fallen behind early through John Terry’s own goal, but Mourinho is confident his side are better than anyone when at full throttle. “It is difficult to stop our team, not just Diego [Costa],” he added. “In these four games, we have had some good and bad periods, but when we are focused we are hard to stop. “It is only four matches, four matches is nothing, it is just the beginning, but obviously it is better to have 12 points than four, five, six or seven.” Costa’s goals dragged Chelsea out of a tricky position as they fell behind to a confident Swansea side at Stamford Bridge, with Mourinho oozing with praise for his lead striker. “He is a special player,” said Mourinho. “He is one of the best strikers in football at this moment. We have an attacking team, a team that creates a lot and we have a team that creates a lot of chances for a striker. “Seven goals is a surprise. No one expects one player to score seven goals in four matches, without penalties. It is fantastic. “Everyone was expecting him to be comfortable and to adapt to our Premier League, but to score seven goals is a fantastic record.” @LastßornNews(07060428346)
