Just a typical all-action match for Diego Costa.

Diego Costa scored twice but could not prevent Chelsea losing their 100 percent Premier League record in a controversial 2-2 draw at Swansea on Sunday.
Nine minutes from the end Costa, who also received his third yellow card in four games, equalised with an overhead scissors kick that might have been penalised for risky play.
He said: “We lost two points”. Then Leroy Fer dispossessed Gary Cahill, perhaps illegally after appearing to kick the Chelsea defender’s heels from behind, and poked in a shot that squirmed through the legs of Courtois and over the line. He is proving a nightmare to handle for defenders – as Swansea centre backs Jordi Amat and Federico Fernandez would attest.
As John Terry flicked on a corner the Spanish worldwide was unmarked two metres from goal but directed the ball wide.
The Spanish global scored his team’s two goals on Sunday, was booked and was also on the receiving end of rough treatment from Swansea defenders Jordi Amat and Federico Fernandez, both of whom were cautioned for fouls on Costa. “The second goal I think everyone can see the situation and I don’t really want to talk about the decision…but I think it was a bad decision for the referee”. I want to have Diego Costa in all the games.
