When Diego Costa sets his mind on what he really needs to do on a football pitch, he is one of the most effective strikers in the world.
The Brazilian-born striker scored a goal and dished out an assist during Chelsea's 2-0 win against Hull City, ending the Blues' two-game losing streak. Willian scored the opening goal with an awesome curled kick, and the former Atlético Madrid man almost mirrored that image moments later, giving Conte's men a lead the wouldn't lose.
It seems that Costa knows how to hurt Hull City, as he's had some interesting performances in each and every game he's played against the Tigers.

Here's how fans reacted to Costa's brilliant performance against Hull, which propelled the Blues to the top six teams in the English top flight.
Let's hope @DiegoCosta does fall in love with England over the next 12 months because right now he is irreplacable.

Costa has improved so much. Much better at controlling the ball, passing, and holding up play. Looks so intelligent now.
