Diego Costa should not have been on the pitch to score Chelsea's winner against West Ham but was not reckless in upending Adrian, according to Slaven Bilic.
Costa avoided a second yellow card for his late challenge on the goalkeeper, then fired the last-gasp winner as Chelsea prevailed 2-1 on Monday night.
The Spain striker handed Antonio Conte the ideal start to his Premier League career at Stamford Bridge, but Hammers boss Bilic refused to criticise the 27-year-old.
'I saw that incident again, I don't think it was reckless,' said Bilic.
