    Sunday League Costas

    Mike: In rugby, I play flanker, and occasionally we come up against people like Costa, just gotta beat them...

    For Sunday's Mail, yesterday was all about Kurt Zouma. He is a monster of a man - look at those Roberto Carlos-esque thighs. 

    The Frenchman got his first goal for Chelsea in their 2-0 win over Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.

    Diego Costa: Hero or villain?

    Reece Young:  Every week Costa gets into a fight or argument. Suarez did something one in 10 games and people called for his head!

    Karl Bristow:  Dangerous tackling aside, we really need to stop sanitising the game. Characters, intensity and a bit of needle add to the game.

    Man City 1-2 West Ham

    Did any of you really expect West Ham to end Manchester City's 100% Premier League record? Hmmm. Well they did. And perhaps it shouldn't have been such a surprise - after the Hammers also won at Arsenal and Liverpool.

    Victor Moses drilled in his first West Ham goal with a low 20-yard shot before the visitors doubled their lead when Diafra Sakho hooked in from six yards.

    City's record signing Kevin De Bruyne fired in to halve the deficit, but West Ham held out against a second-half onslaught to move three points adrift of the leaders.

    Sunday's Express carries a story about Paris St-Germain 'setting their sights' on Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho. 

    Apparently the French club want him to take over next season, by which time Mourinho will have either imploded, destroying everything around him, or have won the league again.

    Diego Costa: Hero or villain?

    Michal Koziol: This might be the first time I agree with Wenger, Costa should be made an example of to discourage that behaviour in future. 

    Mr Hind: Costa is a coward. If he did that to Big Dunc, Harford, Dennis or Billy Whitehurst we'd be scraping him off the pitch. 

    Ben Gibson: Argue the moral whys and wherefores as much as you like, the bottom line is that Costa is not the player he was last year!!

    Diego Costa: Villain but only because he isn't punished for his antics. Yes he plays on the edge but without some discipline he will push the boundaries in every game until he goes too far

    Sunday league Costas

    As ever on a Sunday morning we are keen to hear your stories from the amateur pitches up and down the land.

    Have you ever played against, or with, a player like Diego Costa who often blurs the lines between right and wrong? A wind-up merchant who antagonises opponents.

    If so, how did you deal with it? Or do you love the contest? Is he the sort of player you need in your Sunday league side?

    Let us know on #getinspired.

    The Costa debate

    Unsurprisingly, Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho said that Diego Costa was man of the match against Arsenal, adding: "I think you should speak about Gabriel Paulista, a good player, and his mistake.

    "If you want to speak about Diego Costa, he plays like he has to play and that is why you have full stadiums and you sell the game to television around the world for millions, because the game has to be played like that."

    And Mourinho likened Costa's physical approach and passion to those taking part in the Rugby Union World Cup.

    He said: "I will go to a game on Sunday that I consider comparable in terms of dedication and passion - New Zealand against Argentina. I go because I love it and Diego was fantastic - man of the match."

    Mourinho could not resist a swipe at Wenger as he said: "I have played against him 15 times and the only time he didn't moan was the day we lost in the Community Shield."

  11. 'The least they can do'published at 10:14

    Should Costa be charged?

    The Football Association should look into how Chelsea striker Diego Costa escaped a red card at Stamford Bridge, says Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.

    "He [Costa] will do the same again next week and the week after that and he always gets away with it," said Wenger.

    When asked if the FA should take retrospective action, Wenger added: "That is the least they could do.

    "Costa can do what he wants and yet he stays on and everyone who responds to him has to be sent off. He hits Koscielny in the face yet he gets away with it.

    "I understand referee Mike Dean's decision to send Gabriel off. He was guilty and should not have got involved but why does Costa stay on the pitch after what he has done?

    "Costa is always involved in provocation and he used the naivety of Mike Dean well. It is nothing to do with the strength of a referee. You expect him to make the right decision."

    The Sunday Telegraph delves into the fallout from the 'Battle at the Bridge' and   the latest twist in the Jose Mourinho v Arsene Wenger plot. 

    Chelsea's win over Arsenal is everywhere you look this morning. 

    Wenger's probably perusing the latest edition ofLe Monde Diplomatique,but the real tragedy of it all is that they, too, are running with a big front page splash of Diego Costa this month...

    If you missed Chelsea's 2-0 win over Arsenal on Saturday afternoon, the main talking points all centred on Blues forward Diego Costa.

    Arsenal defender Gabriel was sent-off for kicking out at Costa - but only after the striker had shoved his hand into the face of Laurent Koscielny three times.
