FOOTBALL: Diego Costa is set free.
Diego Costa will not face any action from the Football Association over his clash at Liverpool's Martin Skrtel on Saturday, according to Sky sources.
The FA is satisfied that the matter was dealt with at the time by referee Mark Clattenburg, who was right on the spot when the incident happened during
Chelsea's 3-1 defeat to Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.
As a result, the FA believes there is no need for retrospective action.
However, former Chelsea forward Tony Cascarino believes Costa was lucky not to receive a red card.
"I think it's the first decision that has gone for Chelsea so far this season as he could have easily been banned," he told Sky Sports News H Q.
"Diego has probably been guilty of doing this way too often, but he has definitely caught Skrtel and Chelsea have got anyway with one. Diego is fortunate.
"There is intent and in the modern game that is a red card."
