The Chelsea striker has been given a suspension after the win over Arsenal but former referee Mark Halsey has defended the Spaniard and has called for consistency from the FA.
Diego Costa has been banned for three games after his behavior in Chelsea's 2-0 win over Arsenal and a media furor is to blame.
Having looked at what has gone on in previous weeks, with Gabriel’s elbow on Marko Arnautovic of Stoke City, Costa doing exactly the same thing to Seamus Coleman and Steven Naismith’s kick out at Branislav Ivanovic, it must be said that none of those offenses were punished.
