Mourinho in dig at FA: I'm glad Chelsea don't have 11 Diego Costas!

The Blues boss is not happy with how his striker has been painted as a villain by the British press and the Football Association and insists the desire to suspend him is "so big"

Jose Mourinho has suggested if he had a team of players like Diego Costa that they'd always end up suspended, taking a swipe at the striker's critics.

The Chelsea manager was angered by the FA's decision to give the Spain international a three-game retrospective ban for his antics in the Blues' recent 2-0 win over Arsenal.

Costa tangled with both opponents Laurent Koscielny and Gabriel Paulista in the game, with the latter seeing red for his involvement in the squabble, and the FA reacted by charging him for violent conduct.
