Diego Costa is known to be prone to get into trouble everytime he's on the pitch, but fans seemed to have had enough of his antics.
The Brazilian-born player was constatly exchanging blows with defender Marcos Rojo, with referee Michael Oliver allowing contact that could be characterizes as extreme. Whenever he wasn't fighting with the Argentine, Costa tried to get his opponents carded by overacting some of their tackles.
Annoyed by his performance, fans blasted Costa on Twitter for his poor display. Have a look at their comments.

Diego Costa is given a yellow card. Referee Michael Oliver signals that it was for an accumulation of the previous 37 offences.

It's very hard to resist to the will to slap Diego Costa whenever he annoyingly goes down for nothing
