- Costa still likes a moan
The FA’s crackdown on aggression towards referees always seemed likely to spell trouble for Diego Costa. The Chelsea striker took less than 20 minutes to talk his way into Anthony Taylor’s book as he complained about the official’s decision not to award Oscar a penalty. Costa’s style of play and attitude to the game have barely altered since he arrived in England two years ago and he could end up serving a fair few suspensions this season if he fails to adapt to the new initiative. He later showed his worth by claiming the winning goal but he could have been sent off following a foul on Hammers goalkeeper Adrian.
