Chelsea star Diego Costa is a handful, says Ruud Gullit

Ruud Gullit says he would have loved to have played with Diego Costa during his time at Chelsea, with the former Stamford Bridge favourite describing the striker as a 'handful'.

Chelsea moved up to fourth in the Premier League on Sunday courtesy of a comfortable 2-0 win at Southampton, meaning they remain just a point behind co-leaders Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool.

Costa scored his 40th Premier League goal to hand Chelsea clear daylight against the Saints, after Eden Hazard's early opener, with the Spain international reaching the milestone in 64 games - the sixth fastest since the league's inception in 1992.
