Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has heaped praises on Diego Costa after the latter scored his 12th goal of the season to give Chelsea a 1-0 win over West Bromwich Albion.
Costa scored 16 goals last season but will surely cross the number as the Spaniard has already netted 12 goals this term. The striker is getting better each day and also has reformed his temperament a lot.
The 28-year-old was cautioned 11 times last season and also got a marching order on one occasion but has completely changed himself. The Blues frontman has so far collected four yellow cards and will face an automatic one-match suspension if he gets one more.
He also won the Premier League player of the month for November and has been hailed by Thierry Henry, “When you have a guy like Diego Costa, anything can happen when you have a guy like that up front.
“At the moment he’s the best striker in the league because of the goal he scored yesterday.
“He had no right to score the goal that he scored yesterday.
“That’s him being him. In your face, always running. He’s a pain. Putting pressure on. What a finish yesterday.
“The ball is in the air, nobody actually reacts. Next thing you know they won 1-0 away at Middlesbrough and they won 1-0 yesterday.”
