FA Charges Chelsea Diego Costa With Violent Conduct by kanoguy(m): 6:49pm On Sep 22, 2015 |
Chelsea striker Diego Costa has been
charged with violent conduct by the
Football Association after his side’s 2-0
win over Arsenal on Saturday.
Costa, 26, put his hands in the face of
Arsenal centre-back Laurent Koscielny
prior to clashing with Gunners defender
Gabriel, who was sent off.
The FA has also charged Gabriel, 24, with
improper conduct and both clubs with
failing to control their players.
Arsenal are to appeal against Gabriel’s
dismissal and three-match ban.
Costa has until 18:00 BST on Tuesday, 22
September to respond to the charge,
which is for the clash with Koscielny.
Having confirmed the match officials did
not see the incident, the FA supplied
video footage to a panel of three former
elite referees.
They each had to independently rule
Costa’s actions to be an instant red card
for the FA to proceed with the charge.
If Costa accepts the charge he will serve
an automatic three-match suspension
with immediate effect but, if he contests
it, an independent regulatory
commission will rule.
Chelsea face Walsall, Newcastle and
Southampton in their next three
domestic fixtures.
Referee Mike Dean booked both Costa
and Gabriel for their spat, before the
latter was dismissed for kicking out at
the Blues forward.
Gabriel and both clubs have until 18:00
BST on Thursday, 24 September to reply
to their charges.
Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla, who
was sent off for two bookable offences,
has been warned about his behaviour.
