Mourinho describes Costa as the 'Special one'

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho described Diego
Costa as a "special" player after the Spain
striker fired the Blues two points clear in the
Premier League.
Costa, who passed a late fitness test on a
hamstring injury, scored a hat-trick as Chelsea
beat Swansea 4-2.
The £32m summer signing from Atletico Madrid
has seven goals in his first four games for the
west London club.
"He is one of the best strikers at this moment in
football," Mourinho told BBC Sport. "He is a
special player."
Costa cancelled out John Terry's early own-goal
with a header on the stroke of half-time and
pounced twice after the break from close range to
swing the match Chelsea's way.
He departed to a standing ovation from the home
fans, who then watched Costa's replacement Loic
Remy score his first goal for the club since joining
for £10.5m from QPR.
"The team is an attacking team that creates a lot
of chances and spaces for a striker," said
Mourinho.
"The second goal is a brilliant collective action.
[Cesc] Fabregas had a fantastic assist and Diego
put the ball in the net. Diego is a good player but
he is in a good team."
Costa's goals have added another dimension to a
side that finished third in the league last season.
He has already scored two more league goals
than Fernando Torres and Demba Ba each
managed for Chelsea in the whole of last season,
and only two fewer than Samuel Eto'o.
Former England striker Alan Shearer believes
Costa's muscular forward play and finishing
make him "tailor-made" for the Premier League.
"Everything impressed me about Diego Costa
today," Shearer told BBC Radio 5 live. "He is
looking the real deal. When it is not going as it
should be for Chelsea, they have a goalscorer
who can get them out of it."
And he added on Match of the Day: "When you
consider it took Fernando Torres 43 games to get
seven goals, Costa definitely makes a difference.
"What Chelsea have now is a guy that, when they
are playing poorly, can score goals and pull them
through. Chelsea did not play well against
Swansea but just before half-time they got a
corner and he scored.
"He is always available. He always wants the ball
to feet and if you want to push him around and
bully him it is alright because he will do the same
to you.
"As well as goals, he can assist also. He can do
pretty much everything. He has made a great
start. He will get a bagful of goals this season if
he stays fit because that team will create
chances for him."
Former Blues winger Pat Nevin believes the only
thing that can stop Costa scoring is injury.
"He looks like he will pick up a few injuries
because he puts himself about, but he has got
everything," the Scot said on BBC Radio 5 live.
"We knew he was strong and a natural finisher,
but he has quick feet and a great knowledge of
the game.
"He can play others in and is a complete centre-
forward."
