 But after bringing it back, Costa then proceeded to it again in a more vicious manner. The game was immediately stopped as VAR was consulted. And an instruction quickly came through for the ref to check the monitor, leading to an easy red card decision. The veteran had previously gone 89 league games without a red card at former side Chelsea. That's despite being regarded as one of the most aggressive players to ever grace the competition. However, Costa did end up getting one red card in his Chelsea career. He famously appeared to bite Gareth Barry during an FA Cup clash against Everton, picking up a second yellow card in the process.){kind=link}
