Chelsea have just been

But everyone is talking about one incident in the game involving Chelsea's Diego Costa.

After the Spanish striker was tackled by Gareth Barry, he took offence and leaned in towards the English man.

The cameras seem to have picked up on Costa "biting" the Everton man, something we're sure the FA will look into.

Whatever it was, fans did not approve.

That's a BIT naughty from Diego Costa

Others were reminded of another player who liked a bit of a nibble on the pitch.

Diego Costa is the new Luis Suarez

Liverpool fans couldn’t resist having their say, of course.

BBC just brushing it off as if nothing happened with Costa there? Don't remember them being that easy on Suarez.

Costa was sent off and some were amazed that it was his first red card as a Chelsea player.

Wow Diego Costa gets his first red in a Chelsea jersey, what an innocent young man #Everton #Chelsea #FaCup

Not everyone was convinced it was a bite, though.

Bite or not, he’s certainly a complicated and divisive figure.
