Chelsea striker, Diego Costa has been banned for 3 games for his conduct in Chelsea's premier league game against Arsenal in a game Chelsea defeated Arsenal 2-0.
Retrospective action was taken by the FA as referee Mike Dean in his report did not see Costa laying his hand on Arsenal defender, Laurent Koscielny's face several times before squaring up to him.
It was this incident that led to Gabriel's involvement which ultimately led to Gabriel being sent off after succumbing to Costa's taunts by kicking out.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have won an appeal against Gabriel Paulista's red card and now have his 3 match ban overturned. He will now be set to feature this weekend for Arsenal.
Gabriel will however face a separate charge for his behaviour after he was sent off.
