3 match ban given to Diego Costa for his bad behavior (slapping Koscielny).
At least we can say justice served now. If Diego Costa saw that red card and Gabriel didn't, I'm sure Arsenal could've win that game. Well, enjoy your free 3 points Mourinho. You'll need it at the end of the season.

Yeah arsenal could have win that if not because of costa. 3 match bann is not a good punishment for him, he should atleast have 5 day bann and the referee should be kick out of all premier league match, very bad referee

I agree with you. There were so many mistake and bad decisions from the referee. Also Diego Costa did not play like that in Spanish League.

Bad news for Chelsea just in.... Chelsea striker Diego Costa given three-match ban.

Who have they got to replace him up front? very little, falcao who has lost his form.  If City dont turn things around Man united might win the league!

I think falcao can do a good job replacing him ,falcao is a good player,but his form is a little low like you said
also why did he get a 3 match ban>?

If Mourino going to give Falcao chance then he has chance to gain some confidence and become regular player for Chelsea and its good decision ban Costa for 3 matches

No more option again only falcao one player have good experience even though him not confidence, mourinho will give him a chance to play as a striker

In spanish league the defender is very rough but in premier league the defender is more kind. Even costa is not brave when he is tackled by pepe, the defender there is different then premier league

I dunno i think Costa should face a higher ban he scratches hes nails right down koscielny's face clearly on purpose and very near the eyes.  What an asshole he could blind someone like that.

I remember when Pepe blew his snot at Costa face in Copa del Rey match on February 2014 You could check it on Youtube how funny this is. And now Diego Costa act like a big star in EPL, he should know that he could score because of Fabregas and Hazard on his side. In Spain nation team, he never made impressive playing.

Costa is an asshole, I'm glad he's banned for 3 games, he deserves it. He's always trying to annoy defenders & get them sent off. Why doesn't he just concentrate on scoring goals.

He is frustrated because he could not score a goal on that match Sometime players need to do what he did to break their opponents concentration, but he did it too bad...

One thing that's always made me laugh about Costa is that his 'registered' age is 26. Take a look at a few photos of him or the next time he plays & see what you think his real age is.

No way is that guy 26, I know he plays for Spain but he was born & grew up in Brazil. Do you think it was such a poverty stricken area that they don't register birthdates properly

It happens a lot with African footballers, it's unusual in Brazil though.

I don't understand why fifa squalify Suarez and see his all match, and not Costa. Every time tries to start a fight or commit bad foul and refereer don't see.

Agree that the ban on Costa is deserved. Meanwhile, Paulista (the Arsenal defender receiving a red card for clashing with Costa) has won the appeal against his red card.

The ban will apply to all domestic football so their cup game tonight will be 1 of the 3 games Costa is suspended for. Chelsea will probably be happy about that, Walsall are a 3rd tier team in English football.

Indeed, lexuz is correct that the match against Walsall last night was included in the ban.
The following links are the top results of searching "Diego Costa ban" on google, and I am sure these English football journalists know their FA well enough.

Looking at Liverpool form against Carlisle in the League Cup, I feel that it is good value to bet for the other team instead.
This weekend, I would bet for Aston Villa to win the handicap.

A draw might be a good idea, Liverpool are in awful form with Brendan Rodgers as manager. All of the UK sports media are linking Jurgen Klopp & Carlo Ancelotti with the Liverpool job.

I expect something to happen before Christmas.
