Jose Mourinho has said that playing alongside Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas is "the dream of every striker".

Fabregas, who joined the club from Barcelona in the summer, provided two assists for Diego Costa as the striker scored a hat-trick in the 4-2 win over Swansea City yesterday.

Mourinho told Chelsea TV: "To play with Fabregas is the dream of every striker. The guy sees the movement, sees the pass, is not selfish, makes always the right choice."

Fabregas has provided six assists in total so far this season.
