Penalty Or Not? Tom Heaton( Burnley) Vs Diego Costa( Chelsea) by beinstein(m): 10:49am On Aug 19, 2014
i'm curious to know your opinion(s) over the incidence that earned Diego Costa a yellow card on his debut for Chelsea.
Though with my blue tinted glass on, i managed to see T. Heaton's left hand in contact with Costa's left foot, which prompted him to crash. But the referee claimed he dived and was quick to pull out the yellow.
As if that's not enough, an arsenal friend seated beside me said he(Costa) should've been red carded for diving against an underdog as Burnley.
Your opinion(s) on this please!

agreed he had more than enough chance/time to bury the ball inside the net but failed. That's miscalculation on his part. However, given him yellow for diving is the very part i just can't understand.
