The 29-year-old received just the second red card of his league career barely more than an hour into his return to the Spanish capital
Diego Costa's return to La Liga action with Atletico Madrid proved to be bittersweet as the striker was sent off immediately after finding the net.
The former Chelsea striker tapped home from close range to put Diego Simeone's men 2-0 up with 68 minutes gone of a feisty derby clash with Getafe and charged into the crowd to celebrate his effort. The Spain international striker, however, had already been booked for a stray elbow earlier in the second half, and was shown a second yellow for his exuberance.
