Winning in the absence of Diego Costa proved Jose Mourinho's belief
that Chelsea are collectively stronger and ready for a Barclays Premier
League title challenge this term.
Mourinho believes his side would be champions elect in any other
championship than the competitive Premier League, which the Blues top by
five points with seven wins in an unbeaten eight-game opening to the
campaign.
The latest success was a 2-1 win at Crystal Palace when Costa, scorer
of nine goals in his first seven Premier League appearances, was absent
due to his persistent hamstring problem.
"There is a general feeling that our team improved because of Diego and [Cesc] Fabregas," Mourinho said.
"And it's right and it's true and it's fair to say that. But, at the same time, this team had a big improvement.
"It was good for the group, as a group, to have an important victory
without one player that 'til this moment has scored so many goals and
given us so many points."
