SNAPPED: Chelsea boss Conte jokes about Diego Costa buffet jaunt

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte insists he had no problem with Diego Costa going AWOL at halftime of their win over Watford.

The Brazilian, rested for the thrilling 4-3 win over Watford, had been named on the bench but sneaked into the press room at halftime for a snack.

After the game, Conte was asked if he’d would be telling Costa off for taking the food.

Conte responded: “Which type of food did he have?”

The Premier League winning boss then joked: “It is important, this… chocolate cake?

“In this case I am very angry with him. He must think to give me a bit of chocolate cake to share. I was suffering during the game.

“To eat a bit of cake or chocolate, that would be good.

“Next time I will tell him to think of me as well and share.”
