Stoke City manager Mark Hughes says that he accepts Chelsea striker Diego Costa's on-field antics but also admits 'you don't have to enjoy it'.
Costa was one of two Chelsea players booked in Saturday's game of eight yellow cards and a red as the Premier League leaders won 2-1 at Stoke.
For the second season running in this fixture, Costa was a key figure, regularly clashing with Stoke players.
"It's an unnecessary part of the game these days," Hughes told BBC Stoke.
"You have to accept it, but you don't have to enjoy it.
