#2 Diego Costa, the pantomime villain
When Diego Costa is on the field, one cannot keep him out of the spotlight for long. He may be highly effective on the ball, but it is his antics off it which garner the attention of everyone associated with the game. Football first, he opened the scoring with a sweet side-footed strike following a moment of indecision in the Swans defence.
He then equalised after his team went 2-1 down with a bicycle kick which the referee could well have chalked off for a high boot. However, his theatrical reactions to getting fouled – which led to all three Swansea bookings – and meaningless confrontations with opposition players despite already being on a yellow card himself is a serious issue which Antonio Conte and his staff will have to address in the weeks to come.
