A decision on any retrospective punishment for Diego
Costa from the Football Association is set to be made
in the week.
The Football Association (FA) is to wait on referee Mike Dean's
report before deciding whether Diego Costa should face
retrospective punishment for his behaviour in Chelsea's victory
over Arsenal.
Costa was a central figure in the victory, as he tangled
with Laurent Koscielny before appearing to strike the
Frenchman in the face during the 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge.
The Spain international then clashed with Gabriel - the pair
involved in an angry exchange before the Brazilian was sent off
for kicking out at Costa.
Arsene Wenger labelled the striker's behaviour as
"unacceptable" and urged the FA to take action, although the
organisation will wait for Dean's report before making any
further decisions.
Further developments on the matter are expected on Monday,
with Costa's booking for his coming-together with Koscielny
potentially impacting on matters.
Wenger and opposite number Jose Mourinho disagreed on
Costa's behaviour during a fiery affair that saw Arsenal end with
nine men as Santi Cazorla was shown a second yellow card late
on for a poor tackle on Cesc Fabregas.
While Mourinho described his striker's display as "fantastic",
Wenger fumed: "He can do whatever he wants and anyone who
responds to him gets sent off.
"It's unacceptable his behaviour - if you look at the pictures
what he does to Koscielny before he pushes him down, he hits
him in the face before the throw.
"He always get away with it and honestly it's surprising. I don't
understand Mike Dean's decision at all, not why Diego Costa
stays on the pitch."
