Diego Costa escapes suspension

The cause was determined to be because in the 70th minute, the Chelsea striker kicked Man City center-back Vincent Kompany straight into the thigh.

Referee Mike Dean overlooked Diego Costa's foul

In the match against Man City in round 31 of the Premier League, Chelsea won 2-1. This victory helped The Blues continue to maintain the top position with 72 points after 30 matches, 7 points more than the second-placed team Tottenham. However, after the match, Chelsea and the team's fans were worried when they heard that striker Diego Costa could receive a 3-match suspension from the English Football Association (FA).

The reason was determined to be because in the 70th minute, the Chelsea striker kicked the thigh of Man City midfielder Vincent Kompany. Because he did not observe the situation, referee Mike Dean did not give the Brazilian striker a card. In the post-match report, the referee also did not mention this situation. Therefore, the FA decided not to fine Diego Costa.
