The Football Association announced on Monday that Chelsea striker Diego Costa has been charged with improper conduct following an incident during an FA Cup quarter-final match against Everton on Saturday.
The Spaniard clashed with Gareth Barry in the dying minutes of the 2-0 loss and appeared to make a biting motion, per Rob Harris of the Associated Press. Both players received a yellow card, which was Costa's second of the match.
Per the FA's official website, the Blues ace will also have to "provide his observations" for an alleged gesture he made toward the fans at half-time.
