The Gunners boss has once again taken issue with the striker, blaming him for what seemed an easy decision for the referee early on in the London derby.
Costa had been sent clear through by Willian’s pass in the 18th minute, with Mertesacker chopping the striker down as the Spaniard sped towards goal. Still, Wenger took issue with what appeared to be an easy decision for referee Mark Clattenburg.
“He got him sent off – you cannot say it’s not true,” Wenger told Sky Sports. “Costa has had two of our players sent off in two games… so he is clever.
“In the first game he got Gabriel sent off, today he got Mertesacker off. Was the tackle irregular or not? Did he touch him? I’ll have to watch it again – but a fact is a fact.
“I am not accusing him (Costa) of anything – it’s just what happened.”
minutes after the sending off, Costa got on the end of Branislav Ivanovic’s cross at the front post, finishing first time to score what would be the only goal of the match in a feisty encounter. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

You are too good at crying whenever Chelsea kick your ass. Mind you Mourinho is no more in Stamford Bridge but his soldiers got the talent to always hurt you so bad. Like you said Costa is damn clever and that is what made the Guvnor. See you again next time and when coming tell your boys to always stay away from Costa.
