Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has labelled Diego Costa as one of the best strikers in the world as his sole goal has ensured three points for the Blues against Southampton.
The 28-year old has been in fine form this season as he has already racked up ten goals and is looking like the Costa when they won theleague in 2014-15.
Conte said: “For me, it’s important to have this type of question because in the past, you asked me about his behaviour, about his reaction, about his patience.
“Now I think he is one of the best strikers in the world and he has to continue in this way, showing his patience, but in the right way.
“He is very focused on the team, to help the team with the ball, without the ball and he is scoring a lot of goals. He has to continue so.”
