Chelsea centre-back Gary Cahill admits that his side are "delighted" to have Diego Costa back in the team following the striker's scoring contribution against Hull City.

Chelsea defender Gary Cahill has revealed his delight at the return of Diego Costa following the striker's contribution to the club's 2-0 victory over Hull City in the Premier League.

Spain forward Costa was recently dropped from Antonio Conte's side following a reported confrontation with a Blues fitness coach, but the 28-year-old made an instant impact on his return to the squad with a goal against the Tigers.

"He is delighted to come back. There has been a lot of talk, if he misses one game you are hearing about all the different stories," Cahill told Sky Sports News after the game.

"It gets a bit tiring and the best way to respond is to get a goal. We are delighted to have him back in the team."

Conte's Chelsea now hold an eight-point advantage at the top of the league standings.
