Diego Costa will discover on Monday whether the FA will take retrospective action for his part in the incident that led to Gabriel’s dismissal.

FA chiefs are studying controversial referee Mike Dean’s match report on the incident towards the end of the first half at Stamford Bridge before deciding whether to punish the Chelsea forward.

Costa was booked, but it has not been made clear whether it was for the incident with Laurent Koscielny or his exchange with Gabriel that led to the Arsenal defender’s red card.

If Dean missed him clawing at Koscielny’s cheek or swinging his arm into his face, he could yet face a three match ban for the incident.

Gabriel was followed down the runnel by midfield team-mate Santi Cazorla in the second half as he was given his marching orders following two yellow cards.

Chelsea went on to win the grudge match at Stamford Bridge 2-0 after goals from Kurt Zouma and Eden Hazard.
