Mourinho: More to Chelsea success than Cesc and Diego Costa

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says there's more to their success than new additions Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa.

The impact of Costa and Fabregas has been impressive, but Mourinho has been just as keen to point out the contributions of his less-heralded players.

Mourinho said: "I think that Diego is doing fantastic and the numbers are obviously great. Fabregas the same.

"His numbers as a midfield player are fantastic. The number of assists, the quality he brings to the game.

"For them to be playing so well the team is playing so well. (Branislav) Ivanovic, (Nemanja) Matic, (Eden) Hazard, they're playing well.

"The team is playing well."
