Diego Costa has been branded as a "cheat" by one of his own team-mates following a weekend where the Chelsea star found himself at the centre of on-field controversy.
The combative forward engaged in a prolonged on-field dispute with Arsenal centre-back Gabriel in Saturday's Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge, after putting his hands in the face fellow visiting defender Laurent Koscielny.
Centre-back Kurt Zouma opened the scoring for Jose Mourinho's team and, speaking to beIN Sport after the match, he conceded that Costa plays on the edge of the rules as a tactic to rile opponents.
"We're not surprised because we know Diego," Zouma said.
"Everyone knows Diego and this guy likes to cheat a lot and put the opponent out of his game.
"That happened in the game but he's a really nice guy.
"We're proud to have him, like the other players, and we're happy to win this game."
