Watch Wolves bad-boy Diego Costa sent off for HEADBUTT on Brentford’s Ben Mee in 97th minute

Published on October 29, 2022 at 09:23 PM

FOOTBALL bad-boy Diego Costa received a straight red card after HEADBUTTING Brentford star Ben Mee.

The incident occurred in the 97th minute of Wolves̢۪ 1-1 draw with the Bees on Saturday.

Diego Costa was sent off for a late headbutt in Wolves’ 1-1 draw at Brentford

And unbelievably, it was ex-Chelsea star Costa̢۪s 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 Costa̢۪s 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 Brentford̢۪s 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.

That̢۪s 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.
