These Diego Costa stamps vs Liverpool (VIDEO BELOW) is likely to earn the Spanish striker a ban from the authorities after his actions during the Chelsea vs Liverpool League Cup Semifinal game on 27th January, 2015. Costa appeared to blatantly stamp both Martin Skrtel and Emre Can, and also got into an altercation with Steven Gerrard. Chelsea won the game 1-0

Thuggish behaviour from Costa. Those stamps, especially that one on Can, look terrible. Can’t seem him escaping punishment.
The FA would look toothless if they didn’t red card him.
Costa’s reckless behaviour was an intent to injure and possibly take away another player’s career. He deserves more of a penalty than Suarez ever got for biting.
