4) Is Costa the ultimate wind-up merchant?

Fotboll, Premier League, Chelsea - Arsenal

Chelsea striker Diego Costa is well known for his fiery temperament and the tendency to get underneath defender’s skin.

Arsenal’s Gabriel was the latest victim yesterday, being shown a straight red for kicking out at the Blues striker.

The Arsenal defender was reacting to Costa’s treatment of his team-mate Laurent Koscielny, who was shoved three times in face before being pushed to the ground.

Gabriel immediately confronted the Spain international and a lengthy argument culiminated in him lashing out with his foot.

The game was turned on its head following Gabriel’s sending off and the Gunners were unable to mount a serious fight back afterwards.

Santi Cazorla was also dismissed, being shown a second yellow for a foul on Cesc Fabregas.

The big question is: how did referee Mike Dean conclude Costa’s treatment of Koscielny was fair?
