Adrian reacts to brutal Costa challenge

West Ham goalkeeper Adrian claims he is lucky to not be seriously injured after he was fouled by Diego Costa in the defeat to Chelsea.

Costa has been widely condemned for the brutal tackle which saw him scrape his studs down the keeper’s shins and ankle.

Having received one yellow card he was lucky to stay on the pitch but did and scored a last gasp winner which sickened every Hammers fan.

Adrian has now responded to the incident by posting an image depicting Costa’s high tackle with the hashtag ‘#fairplay’, and expressing his relief at not sustaining more serious damage.

He said: : “Disappointed about last night!! Thank God my leg is okay after that, could have been much… (worse)”
