Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink defended Diego Costa after the striker punched a hole in the tunnel.
Chelsea drew 2-2 with West Brom last night and the frustration proved too much for the Brazil-born Spain international.
Costa dented the perspex wing in the Chelsea tunnel at full-time after picking an argument with Baggies goalkeeper Boaz Myhill.
But Hiddink laughed off the incident, saying: "We can repair that easily enough, that's not a problem. He is an emotional guy and I like that very much."

Chile boss Jorge Sampaoli has confirmed he wants to stand down from his post.
Sampaoli is a target for Serie A outfit Roma and is said to be on Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich's shortlist of options to replace Hiddink at the end of the season.
Sampaoli reportedly has a £4.4million exit clause in his contract which could prove a stumbling block to his exit but insists he wants to move on.

"It appears that I will not be Chilean coach anymore," he said.
"I hope I can persuade [Football Federation of Chile president Arturo] Salah so he can understand my point.
"It is impossible for me to pay the clause."
