10 Incidents that prove Diego Costa is a dirty player

Diego Costa has been dominating the headlines after his antics against Arsenal at the weekend. The Chelsea striker made a defining impact on the game, when he got Gabriel sent off. The Brazilian also eye gouged Laurent Koscielny and sent social media into a frenzy as Chelsea capitalized on Arsenal’ loss and beat them 2-0.

Costa is one of world football’s finest wind-up merchants. Apart from being a very good footballer, Costa comes with a lot of other non-footballing attributes. From nasty tackles, eye gouge, punching opposition to stamping on them, spitting on their face and head butting them, Costa offers a lot more than what you would normally expect from your number nine.
