La Liga! Costa Sent Off After Scoring Atletico Winner
La Liga! Costa Sent Off After Scoring Atletico Winner

SPORTS....
Atletico Madrid unleashed Diego Costa in La Liga on Saturday and
the controversial centre-forward scored the winner before being
sent off in a 2-0 home win over regional rivals Getafe.
Atletico’s transfer ban ended last week and Costa was playing his
first league game since rejoining the Spanish club from Chelsea.
The 2-0 win, in which France star Antoine Griezmann set up the
opener for Angel Correa on 18 minutes, lifts Atletico into second,
six points behind Barcelona who play Levante on Sunday.
It also took Atletico five points clear of third-placed Valencia.
Costa had been lively the whole match and received a yellow card
for a foul in the 62nd minute. Five minutes later he met a low
cross to put his side 2-0 up and immediately earned a second
yellow for leaping into the stands to celebrate with fans.
The brooding striker looked totally perplexed by the decision but
his borderline style of play may inject some much-needed bite to
the Atletico forward line.
Diego Simeone’s side looked as hard to beat as ever — with just
eight goals conceded and one defeat in 18 league games — but
they have scored only 27 with Greizmann struggling to find the
net, hitting just five league goals so far.
Atletico hasn’t won La Liga since Costa left for London, where he
won two Premier League titles in three years after rifling the
Madrid club to their tenth league championship with 27 goals.
