"?Diego Costa is on fire at the moment, and Chelsea are all the better for it.
The Spain international returned to action for the Blues against Stoke City on Saturday, having served a one-match suspension for their previous game, and helped them to an impressive 4-2 win.
After the match, he was seen sharing an incredible moment with Antonio Conte, cosying up and laughing as they walked off the pitch.
It's certainly a joy to watch, given what happened at the club last season. And Costa has revealed that the team's success has been a by-product of the manager's wonderful relationship with his players.
Speaking to Chelsea's "?official website, the forward said: "The truth is the manager is good with the players, every time making more jokes with the players. That's good for us, to have a manager who is not just a boss, but like a person we can talk with, someone whose support we can count on in difficult moments.

"He is calm with the players and you can see the people love him more all the time."
"If you work hard and there's not a good atmosphere, the work doesn't mean a thing,' Costa continued.
"You can run 20km, 80, 100, and if there's no spirit between the players, the coaches, as colleagues, it won't come out as well. Work goes well if you give your best with the guy beside you.
"The team is very good, when we win the atmosphere is like this, but it's important that during the week we train seriously, so we approach games like this."
The Blues are intent on extending their stupendous winning streak when they face Tottenham on Wednesday. They have a great chance to set a Premier League record, as a win over their London rivals would leave them with 14 straight victories.
"It's important to keep winning games," Costa said, looking ahead to the trip to White Hart Lane.
"Both teams want to win. It's a London derby so the match is played a bit stronger, but there's no problem with it. We go there looking to do the best we can."
