No Costa bite

EVERTON midfielder Gareth Barry stated yesterday that Chelsea striker Diego Costa did not bite him during the Merseyside club’s 2-0 FA Cup quarterfinal win on Saturday.

“Seen a lot of talk about the incident involving me and Diego Costa in the game last night,” Barry wrote on the Fanzai app. “For the record Diego did not bite me.”

Costa was shown a second yellow card in the 84th minute of the game after reacting to a foul from Barry by leaning his head into the Everton midfielder’s face. He then lowered his mouth to Barry’s neck. Chelsea said that Costa had “expressed regret” over the incident, but was adamant that he had not bitten Barry.
