How to correctly express a successful job (where others failed) in a cover letter

How to correctly express a successful job (where others failed) in a cover
letter

I was working on a project where the two other person before me failed to
get the job done as expected. Basically that was the reason they hired me,
and fortunately I did it better than expected.
How can I express it in a proper English in a cover letter when I'm
applying for a new job?
Just in the case that it might help, the first person lost the job
(employer didn't renew the contract) however he's still promoting himself
using the project name and saying he were working on the project. The
second person got fired, however he is also doing the same like the other
one.
I think, I have to mention it somehow that it was my effort to make the
project successful, because that could potentially land me the job, but I
really don't know how should I express that that doesn't sound negative,
etc.
P.S. I know that I have to discuss it while they are interviewing me,
however I prefer to increase the chance by putting that in the cover
letter first.
