Man Utd legend slams Chelsea's Diego Costa as a petulant baby after Arsenal clash
Rio Ferdinand slammed Diego Costa after his clash with Gabriel which saw the Arsenal man sent off
RIO FERDINAND has laid into Chelsea's Diego Costa, calling the Spanish international "a petulant baby" after Arsenal's Gabriel was sent off following a clash with the striker.
 
Costa first tussled with Laurent Koscielny, and appeared to slap the Frenchman before he got himself involved in a spat with Gabriel.
Both players were booked, but the disagreement rumbled on as the players moved towards the halfway line, with Gabriel kicking out at the striker and receiving a straight red.
 
And this behaviour did not impress former England defender Ferdinand.
"Costa acts like a petulant baby," he said on BT Sport. "If anything happens it's like the end of the world.
 
"He's a liability, a ticking time bomb. He's a fantastic player but he has to get back to playing football."
The red card came just before the half-time break and had a huge impact on the match, as Kurt Zouma gave the champions the lead on 53 minutes, before Santi Cazorla also saw red following after receiving a second yellow for a poor challenge on Cesc Fabregas.
Eden Hazard's deflected injury time strike made sure of the points for Jose Mourinho's side.
