Mourinho hails
Diego Costa
after 3 goals
against swansea
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.”
