Diego Costa's impressive start to the Premier League season was ramped up a notch against Swansea at Stamford Bridge. The Welsh side took an early lead through a John Terry own goal but after that it was all about one man.
The burly Brazilian/Spaniard grabbed a hat-trick to take his season total to 7 after just 4 Premier League games and it was a prolific partnership with Cesc Fabregas that proved Swansea's undoing. Costa is already breaking goalscoring records and if he keeps this up, it would take a brave person to bet against him firing Chelsea to the title.
Diego Costa is the second player to score in his first four PL games, joining Coventry's Mick Quinn in 1992.

There's also the rather incredible stat that Costa, in four games, has scored as many goals as Fernando Torres did in his first season and a half at Chelsea.
Costa was withdrawn in the 72nd minute for debutant Loic Remy, who notched a goal of his own after 81 minutes, before a late Jonjo Shelvey consolation wrapped up the scoring.
