Chelsea striker punished for altercation with Gareth Barry

Chelsea star Diego Costa has been charged by the FA for improper conduct following his incident with Gareth Barry on Saturday.

The Spaniard saw red after picking up a second-yellow card during a spat with the Everton midfielder during their 2-0 defeat at Goodison Park in the FA Cup.

Despite it initially looking like Costa had bitten Barry, both Chelsea and the Toffees midfielder denied those claims stating he did not bite him at all.

However, the Football Association has still charged Costa for his involvement in the saga.

Statement

“It is alleged his behaviour, after being shown a second yellow card in the game, amounted to improper conduct,” the FA said in a statement.

Costa has until Thursday evening to respond.
