Diego Costa is known for his physical style of play

Chelsea’s Diego Costa may have terrific movement, the physical strength of an ox, the pace of a gazelle, and the finishing of the coolest marksman in town, but he always plays on the edge. He is a regular user of the ‘Dark Arts’ of football, and constantly nags, sledges, and annoys defenders and opposing fans alike with his antics.

He also constantly complains to referees, and he is also known to go to ground easily at times. The striker could have been sent off in Chelsea’s opening two Premier League games, but somehow stayed on the pitch and ended up scoring in both games.

He has also previously stamped on Liverpool’s Emre Can and had tussles with Martin Skrtel, not to mention being the bane of Arsene Wenger, getting two of his players sent off in previous games.

Diego Costa is booed in almost all the away grounds in the UK, and based on his theatrics on the field, it is no surprise.
