Recently, in the FA Cup quarter-final match between Liverpool's "Everton" and London's "Chelsea", there was an intense battle between Gareth Barry and Diego Costa.
From the very beginning of the match, tensions flared between these two footballers, and their clashes began from the first foul. In the end, in the 84th minute, the Spanish national team striker was sent off the pitch after an altercation with G. Barry.
From the video replay, it can be seen that D. Costa tried to bite his opponent. However, "Everton" defender did not fall for the Spaniard's provocation and waited for the referee to take action.
For a similar incident, Luis Suarez has received very strict sanctions in the past. Furthermore, in another episode, D. Costa is seen spitting on the referee's legs.
For such unsportsmanlike behavior, D. Costa may face disqualification from several matches in the near future.
