FOOTBALL bad-boy Diego Costa received a straight red card after HEADBUTTING Brentford star Ben Mee.
The incident occurred in the 97th minute of Wolvesâ 1-1 draw with the Bees on Saturday.
And unbelievably, it was ex-Chelsea star Costaâs first-ever red card in the Premier League.
The Brazil-born Spaniard, 34, joined Wolves on a free transfer last month after leaving Atletico Mineiro.
Costa is yet to score for his new club.
The aggressive striker hoped to rectify the situation today against Brentford.
But Costaâs sixth appearance for Wolves saw him fire blanks again.
And he will now miss their next three league matches after being sent off for the first time in 95 Prem games.
As Wolves prepared to fire a late cross into Brentfordâs box, Costa became tangled with ex-Burnley captain Ben Mee.
Video replay footage showed Costa moved his head towards Mee momentarily.

But after bringing it back, Costa then proceeded to it again in a more vicious manner.
The game was immediately stopped as VAR was consulted.
And an instruction quickly came through for the ref to check the monitor, leading to an easy red card decision.
The veteran had previously gone 89 league games without a red card at former side Chelsea.
Thatâs despite being regarded as one of the most aggressive players to ever grace the competition.
However, Costa did end up getting one red card in his Chelsea career.
He famously appeared to bite Gareth Barry during an FA Cup clash against Everton, picking up a second yellow card in the process.
