Chelsea’s Diego Costa unceremoniously told Stoke’s Ryan Shawcross he stunk
There was an unsavoury coming together between Chelsea striker Diego Costa and Stoke centre-half Ryan Shawcross on Saturday in the Premier League.
With the scores locked a 0-0 early in the second half, Costa tried to get under the skin of his opponent by behaving like a nasty bully in the playground.
The Spanish international striker was filmed on camera indicating that Shawcross stunk!
Costa revealed his acting qualities as he smelled his own armpit before pointing in the Stoke player’s direction, and then he capped his childlike behaviour by trapping his noise to indicate the apparent stench.
Shawcross immediately headed over to the taunting Chelsea striker and Costa stopped his gesture, however he didn’t back down from his overall aggressive attitude.
While Costa may have made some of his supporters smile for a second, Stoke soon went on to take the lead, while the striker continued to underwhelm in Chelsea’s poor campaign.
