RYAN SHAWCROSS is adamant he’s marked much ‘nastier’ players than Diego Costa.
The pair were involved in a number of spats during Stoke’s 1-0 win over Chelsea last Saturday.
Costa even gestured at one point that he thought the Potters centre half was smelly
“I played in the Championship and there's a lot nastier people in the Championship and tougher people," Shawcross said.
"Once you've got Costa concentrating on you rather than the game you've won the battle..
"I was pleased he was concentrating on me and just delighted to keep him quiet because he's a fantastic player."
Stoke’s win lifted them up to 12th in the table.
