JOSE MOURINHO insists there is "no issue" with Diego Costa after he dropped the Spanish striker for the match against Spurs.
The Spanish failed to get off the bench for the bench as they slumped to a dull 0-0 draw at White Hart Lane.
In the absence of Costa, Chelsea were only able to produce one shot on target through Eden Hazard in the second half.
While Costa warmed up late on and dismissively threw his bib in the direction of Mourinho when he didn't come on.
After the match, Mourinho was adamant there was no problem but made clear he wants more from his striker.
He said: "No, there is no issue at all.

"I think we played really well. The dynamic was very good.
"Hazard and Oscar were in dangerous positions.
"If he (Costa) watched the game with some attention from the bench he will know what is needed from him."
