Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho does not believe striker Diego Costa will receive retrospective action from the FA after he appeared to stamp on Emre Can during Chelsea's Capital One Cup semi-final win over Liverpool. The Spain international was in the thick of the action all night on Tuesday and was fortunate not to be shown a red card by referee Michael Oliver when clashing with Liverpool defender Can in the 12th minute at Stamford Bridge. Costa, who should also have had a penalty midway through the first half, also clashed with Martin Skrtel and Steven Gerrard during an ill-tempered affair, but Mourinho insists Costa should be left alone to play football. Mourinho was angered throughout the game by the officials as he thought Jordan Henderson and Lucas should have picked up second yellow cards, although when asked about the contentious decisions, he refused to blame the officials in his post-match interview.
