As Chelsea's season suffered a final sorry implosion with an FA Cup defeat at Everton on Saturday, it was fitting that it should end with another display of fury from their angry young man, Diego Costa.

He spends too much time abusing and fighting and scrapping," Shearer said. "You can't do that every game because you turn the ref against you."
