Costa scores, then sent-off on Atleti return

Atletico Madrid claimed a 2-0 win over Getafe on Saturday in a match that showcased some of the best and worst of Diego Costa.

Goal says Costa scored and was sent off on his LaLiga return as Atletico Madrid closes gap on league runaway beat Barcelona.

The Spain striker, who netted in the Copa del Rey win over Lleida on Wednesday, struck his side's second goal after Angel Correa's opener before picking up a second yellow card for his subsequent celebration.

Costa's dismissal was one of the flashpoints of an ill-tempered clash in the capital, in which eight other players were booked by referee Jose Luis Munuera Montero.
