Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has defended the combative style of star striker Diego Costa.
Mourinho rejected the suggestion Costa goes after trouble and insists the striker is merely seeking goals after netting seven in his first four Premier League games.
"This is a completely fake point," Mourinho said.
"Maybe it's a point based on what happened in previous seasons, not what happened here. Here he got the right advice, the right education.
"The referees are there to see the provocation. Diego is trying to play. He's not afraid of aggressive opponents.
"He doesn't let other players intimidate him. He's not there to provoke people. He's there to play football and to score goals.
"He's being completely fair and giving zero problems to referees and behaving very, very well and just worried about playing his football."
