Chelsea boss Mourinho excited by Cesc, Diego Costa partnership

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho was delighted with Cesc Fabregas' performance in their victory over Swansea City. Midfielder Fabregas, the former Arsenal captain signed from Barcelona, laid on two assists for Diego Costa, who joined in a £32million deal from Atletico Madrid after long being coveted by Mourinho.

"To play with Fabregas is the dream of every striker," Mourinho told Chelsea TV.

"The guy sees the movement, sees the pass, is not selfish, makes always the right choice."

Fabregas added on Chelsea TV: "Just trying to do my job. That's it.

"We have a good team, strong, young, with a lot of courage. We showed it again."
