Chelsea's Mourinho lauds scoring hero Remy - 'He gives us everything'

Loic Remy was the subject of lavish praise from Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho on Sunday.

The French striker gave the Blues a 3-2 win over Hull City at the KC Stadium by netting the winner in the 77th minute - just two minutes after replacing Diego Costa.

?Mourinho was delighted with Remy in the after-match suggesting that the former Newcastle United and QPR attacker gives the Blues something every the he steps out for the west Londoners.

?"Every time he plays, scoring or not scoring, he gives us everything he has to give," Mourinho told Sky Sports.

?"Sometimes it is movement, sometimes it is defensive contributions, sometimes he is scoring goals.

?"This is a goal that means two extra points and I'm pleased for the boy, he is a fantastic kid."

?Remy's winning strike came after Chelsea had produced an early two-goal lead through Eden Hazard and Costa before Ahmed Elmohamady and Abel Hernandez levelled for the Tigers.

?Chelsea remain six points clear at the top of the Premier League table with a game in hand on second-placed Manchester City.?
