Chelsea's Diego Costa banned and fined
The punishment was handed out after confrontation with Everton's Gareth Barry in March
London: Chelsea striker Diego Costa has been given a further one-game ban for his behaviour that followed his sending-off in an FA Cup quarterfinal match against Everton last month.
The English Football Association announced the suspension on Friday, saying the Spain international player has also been fined Dh104,500 (£20,000) and warned about his future conduct. Costa admitted to a charge of improper conduct at a disciplinary hearing.
Costa was suspended for two matches after receiving a red card - for the first time in his Chelsea career - against Everton. He picked up a second booking after thrusting his head at Gareth Barry before making a biting motion toward the midfielder's neck. Both players said there was no bite.
Costa confronted the referee before leaving the field.
