EPL: Diego Costa apologises after first misbehaviour at Wolves, gets 3 match ban

 

Former Chelsea striker, Diego Costa has apologised to his Wolves teammates after his red card in the 1-1 draw with Brentford on Saturday.

Ben Mee put visiting Brentford ahead in the second half but Wolves equalised through Ruben Neves two minutes later.

Costa, who returned to England in the summer, is yet to find the back of the net and the former Chelsea striker now faces an extended spell on the sidelines.

Costa was shown a red card in the last minutes of the game against Brentford for violent conduct after he headbutted Mee off the ball.

The 34-year-old will now serve a three-game ban.

“Diego has apologised,’” Wolves interim head coach Steve Davis told reporters after the game.

“Something’s happened. We’ll have to look at that this week to see what we do at the weekend.

“He’ll be missing the three games before the World Cup.”
