Premier League defenders always hit me but I don't complain - Chelsea's Costa

Diego Costa has revealed his thoughts on the English Premier League in his debut season with Chelsea.

The Brazilian-born Spanish striker tops the scoring charts with 19, alongside Tottenham's Harry Kane, but says he has found it a very physical competition to play in.

"I always get hit but I don't complain," he told Marca.

"They tackle strong but on top of it, they don't call the foul while in Spain they did.

"Some defenders try to bring you out of games but more and more, I control myself more and try to play my game."
