DIEGO COSTA showed he hasn’t lost any of the fire after KICKING OUT at ex-Liverpool right-back Martin Kelly in the Chelsea vs Liverpool Legends match.
The ex-Brazil and Spain forward, 37, was running onto a through ball from Eden Hazard, when Kelly came through from behind to win the ball from the physical striker, leaving him furious.

Costa, still on the floor, decided to lash out at Kelly with his studs, planting a foot into the right-back’s upper leg.
Kelly – who only officially retired from football YESTERDAY – was left furious as Costa got to his feet and squared up to the 35-year-old.
Things looked to be defused, only for Costa to choose Martin Skrtel as his next target.
The Slovakian defender challenged old rival Costa just minutes later.
And, with the striker still clearly unhappy, and then getting booked for squaring up to Skrtel.
Costa somehow escaped punishment in 2015 after appearing to stamp on Skrtel during Chelsea’s 3-1 loss to Liverpool.
And fans watching the Chelsea Legends vs Liverpool Legends clash were left less-than-shocked on social media.
Taking to X, one wrote: “Diego Costa being aggressive in a Legends match is the most Diego Costa thing ever.”

Even Chelsea legend Hazard weighed in at half-time, saying: “”This guy is still the same, you know. We just saw it.”
