Costa aside, the rest of their squad is world class

Last season, Chelsea needed goals – and now they have them, but it would be wrong to lavish all the praise on Costa and Cesc.

Eden Hazard may not be depended upon to the extent of last season, but he still produces that bit of magic against the top sides and when on song, is unplayable.

Oscar, Schurrle and Willian are also worth mentioning – they may have lost some of the plaudits so far this season but their work rate is phenomenal – and Oscar showed just why he was kept ahead of Juan Mata during the game against Arsenal.

Matic provides midfield masterclasses game after game and there is Ramires and John Obi Mikel in the background should they be needed.

That does not even take the defence into consideration, with new boy Filipe Luis failing to even get into the side due to the form of Cesar Azpilicueta and the revelation of Branislav Ivanovic.

Skipper John Terry and Gary Cahill are as solid as ever – and Mourinho has the best and the second best keepers in the league.

Not too shabby.
