Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho hailed Demba Ba after his goalscoring performance at Liverpool.

Ba was outstanding leading the line in the 2-0 win.

It was just his fourth start in the League this season, but his strike took him to five for the campaign - one more than £50m forward Fernando Torres.

Mourinho said: "Demba was a giant - holding the ball, fighting strong defenders, waiting for support. He was fantastic."
