Fernandinho has denied deliberately elbowing Diego Costa during Manchester City's 3-0 English Premier League football victory over Chelsea on Sunday, contradicting Jose Mourinho's claim that he should have been sent off for targeting the forward.
The City midfielder was booked by Martin Atkinson, the referee, for catching Costa with his left arm in a controversial challenge. It resulted in the forward receiving lengthy treatment before seeking retribution at half-time.
