Arsenal fans have claimed that Diego Costa stole his bicycle kick goal against Swansea from Laurent Koscielny.
The pair both scored remarkably similar goals over the weekend, but with the Arsenal defender netting his first, Costa has been accused of copying.
The similarity in their finishes has also led to a debate over which finish was better.
Centre-back Koscielny, who scored against Southampton on Saturday, appears to be the overwhelming favorite among football fans on Twitter, with some pointing out that Costa’s late equalizer at the Liberty Stadium took a deflection on its way in.
Koscielny’s goal was a hundred times better than Costa’s

Koscielny’s goal was better than that Costa’s goal. Kos the better goalscorer.

@GaryLineker Koscielny didn’t need a deflection to score overhead kick yesterday but gets half the attention Costa gets!!

More of a Chelsea fan than an Arsenal fan but Koscielny’s bike was cooler than Costa’s.
