 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.
