#2 The return of the red mist
Diego Costa hasn’t been his usual angry and belligerent self on the pitch since the opening month of the season and viewers of the Premier League had almost become accustomed to a more benevolent version of the striker. However, the red mist descended on the Spaniard against the Potters once again as he tussled and tumbled with members of their backline and some more.
He looked like he was in one of his stormy moods right off the bat and was promptly in the referee’s book inside the 17th minute. One shy of his 50th Premier League goal, the former Atletico Madrid player was fiercely competitive and created trouble for the Potters throughout the night. On many occasions, he even risked the danger of inviting a second yellow and was lucky to see out the entire game.
