Diego Costa showed his worst side on Saturday afternoon. In the 95th minute of play, the Wolverhampton Wanderers striker headbutted Brentford’s Ben Mee. After viewing the video, referee Robert Madley gave the 24-time Spain international a direct red card.

In the 95th minute of play, the scoreboard showed a 1-1 score when Diego Costa suddenly had a short circuit. The striker looked very frustrated and, while the attack was still going on, headbutted Mee, who went straight to the ground. Although the incident initially eluded referee Madley, he was called to the screen by the video referee. After watching the video, Madley was convinced and immediately gave Costa red.
