Graeme Souness believes Diego Costa's substitution request was overly aggressive
Diego Costa appeared to request a substitution in the second half against Leicester
Graeme Souness believes Diego Costa was overly aggressive towards Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte when he seemed to request to be substituted against Leicester City on Saturday.
Costa, who would have missed next Sunday's meeting with Man Utd had he picked up a fifth booking of the season, appeared to gesture to the bench in the second half of Chelsea's 3-0 victory over the defending champions.
Conte confirmed after the match he ignored Costa's plea because he preferred to focus on Leicester rather than look ahead to the Super Sunday clash, and Souness felt the striker was too forceful in his approach.
