Hull: Chelsea manager Antonio Conte paid tribute to Diego Costa as the revitalised Spain forward took his season's tally to six goals in seven games in 2-0 win at Hull.

"It's fantastic for him, for us," said Conte. "He has scored six goals but I think Diego has the opportunity every game to score goals. It's important he scored a goal but it's important he's working for the team. For me, this is the most important thing. We played with the right intensity and good pressure," Conte added.

"After two defeats, it's never easy, but I'm pleased with the attitude of the players. We're working hard and I think that's the right way. We must follow this way because we must know that we have to improve a lot and if we want to improve there is only one way - that is to work."
