Gus Hiddink can’t control Chelsea bad boy Diego Costa

Everton 2 Chelsea 0

The Chelsea caretaker, having seen his last chance of winning silverware this season disappear at Goodison, conceded that Costa’s lack of fitness contributed to his frustration that mounted as Everton, led by Gareth Barry, clearly used the full extent of the law to try and rile the combustible striker.

It worked, in the 84th minute, when Costa, cautioned early for a retaliatory foul on Barry, squared up to the midfielder again, placed his head on his rival’s and appeared to think about biting him before realising the gross error in his judgement.
