"Diego Costa is a serial cheat" - former Arsenal Chairman

– “The referee should have sent him off for diving”
–  Hill-Wood could not hide his anger
The former chairman of Arsenal  Peter Hill-Wood blasted Diego Costa after Per Mertesacker saw red on the 18th minute.
In his interview for Daily Star Hill-Wood said: “He is a serial cheat and he gets away with it. I think he deliberately ran in front of Mertesacker, who hardly touched him. Yet Costa rolls around as if his legs have been cut off.

“Once the red card’s been shown, he’s suddenly perfectly alright again. That’s because there’s absolutely nothing wrong with him. There certainly wasn’t soon after when he scored that goal. Personally I think the referee should have sent him off for diving. It’s very annoying because to me it is blatant.”

Hill-Wood states that Arsene Wenger was also enraged by the Chelsea forward.
“I thought Arsene was very restrained because he must have been furious. He gets criticised or penalised by the FA if he says too much,” he added.
