Dembele gouges Diego Costa's eye amid touchline fracas

Mousa Dembele is probably going to receive a phone call from the FA tomorrow.

The Tottenham midfielder, at the heart of seemingly every unsavory incident during a feisty opening half against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Monday, was caught on camera poking Diego Costa in the left eye during an altercation on the touchline that drew a crowd of players from each side.

That the snarling striker reacted by (hilariously) holding the opposite side of his face likely won't absolve the Belgian, who could follow in the footsteps of fellow midfielder Dele Alli and find himself sidelined for the remainder of the season as a result of a retroactive ban for violent conduct.

If Tottenham is unable to collect all three points in the contest, those remaining two matches won't matter, of course. Anything other than a Spurs victory at Stamford Bridge will see Leicester claim the league crown.
