Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone had no complaints with Diego Costa's dismissal in victory over Getafe.

Simeone spoke after his side's fractious 2-0 win in the Metropolitano where Diego Costa, making his second Liga debut for the club, stole the show with a series of robust challenges, a goal and a red card after jumping into the stands to celebrate with fans.

He said: “We knew Getafe are an opponent that work very well defensively, they're a tough side at the back and we were able to break them down in a good way."

On Costa's red card, Simeone added: “I'd prefer to concentrate on the good things that Costa did. The referee doesn't have the room to interpret the emotional side. The rules are the rules but he was there to score an important goal. The sending off was correct because he went over to celebrate with the fans and you have to accept the rules for the next game. Diego Costa gives us speed, an extra attacking option and the fear factor… he scares people."
