7 times Diego Costa was a massive sh*thouse in football

The 33-year-old, Diego Costa has just made a sensational return to the Premier League as a stop-gap solution for injury-stricken Wolves.

It's a bloody brilliant transfer, if only because he'll be pure entertainment however well it turns out in terms of actual football. Premier League defences, beware.

We've taken a look through the archives back at some of the best and most memorable times Costa pulled his most profound levels of bastardry.

Gabriel

Where better to start? Who could forget Costa's ridiculous antics in this game against Arsenal, getting opponent Gabriel Paulista sent off for absolutely nothing?

The striker got a retrospective ban for his actions.

Sergio Ramos

Just months after Ramos riled Liverpool fans and the rest by injuring Mo Salah in the Champions League final, Diego Costa got one back on the Real Madrid defender in the UEFA Super Cup, with this sly kick in the head.

Xabi Alonso

Imagine doing this to such a lovely man. At least Xabi comes away unscathed, and his reaction is pretty good to be honest.

Morteza Pouraliganji

Diego Costa was even at it on the sly at the World Cup as he never shies from such over-the-top actions.

Chelsea training:

Man did not like his opponents but with teammates, it was just banter. We're not sure what anyone, least of all Diego Costa, gets out of this.

The Battle of Stamford Bridge

Surprisingly, Costa wasn't overly involved in the antics surrounding the "most shameful game in Premier League history", but he did manage to get Jan Vertonghen booked.

Federico Fazio

Fazio doing what so many centre-halves have dreamed about, here.
