Diego Costa lived up to his fiery reputation during the early stages of Chelsea’s FA Cup final against Arsenal.

After seeing his side concede an early goal as Alexis Sanchez fired the Gunners ahead, the Spain striker clashed with defender Rob Holding.

Costa appeared to stop the England U21 international from getting back to his feet after both players fell to the group following a heavy challenge.

And as Holding trudged back to his position in the Arsenal defence, he was spotted engaging with Costa while pointing to his head.

The challenge…
