After what had been a relatively quite and uneventful first half between Chelsea and Arsenal, suddenly descended into chaos with Diego Costa the principle instigated.
Having taken a couple of swipes at Laurent Koscielny and gotten away with it, Costa then exchanged verbals with Gabriel before the latter got sent off for what looked like a pretty innocuous coming together.
Speaking at half time, Rio Ferdinand predicatably criticised Diego Costa the pantomime villain calling his behaviour one of a petulant baby.
Maybe so, but Gabriel fell for Costa’s antics hook, line and sinker.
In the second half Chelsea went onto a comfortable 2-0 win after goals from Zouma and Hazard. To make matters worse for Arsenal, Cazorla picked up his second yellow meaning his side were down to 9 men for the last 10 minutes.
