Watch this incident between Diego Costa and Gabriel from 2013 when Costa's Atletico Madrid played Gabriel's Villarreal.

Diego Costa and Gabriel's clash at Stamford Bridge on Saturday resulted in the Arsenal defender being sent-off, but it wasn't the first time the pair have locked horns.

Costa's conduct in Chelsea's 2-0 win over the Gunners has been widely ridiculed, as he appeared to try his best to get the Brazilian defender dismissed.

However, the pair have a history, and clashed when Costa was at Atletico Madrid and Gabriel at Villarreal in 2013, with the roles somewhat reversed.
