The controversial striker, already on a yellow card in his team's FA Cup quarter-final match against Everton, was shown a second after he headbutted and appeared to bite the neck of Toffees midfielder Gareth Barry.
Costa will consider himself lucky to have survived until the 85th minute, as he appeared to spit near the feet of the referee earlier in the match, too.
Barry, for his efforts, was shown a second yellow card just minutes later in a feisty contest that ended with Everton booking a spot in the tournament semi-final by virtue of a 2-0 win.
