The striker was involved in a number of controversial incidents on and
off the ball during Chelsea's win over Arsenal on Saturday and now faces
retrospective punishment
Chelsea striker Diego Costa has been charged by the Football
Association for "an alleged act of violent conduct" during Saturday's
win over Arsenal.
The 26-year-old was involved in a spat with Gunners defender Gabriel,
which saw the defender sent off for kicking out at the Spain
international.
Costa continued his physical approach and was perhaps fortunate to
remain on the pitch following further clashes with Alex
Oxlade-Chamberlain and Laurent Koscielny.
However, he now faces retrospective punishment for his altercation
with Koscielny, which saw him strike the centre-back in the face, and
has until 6pm on September 22 to reply.
Arsenal defender Gabriel - who was sent off for kicking out at Costa
- has also been charged with improper conduct while team-mate Santi
Cazorla has been warned following his red card.
Both clubs have been charged for failing to control their players under FA rule E20.
