Jose Mourinho has blasted the Football Association for overturning Gabriel's red card and subsequently hitting Diego Costa with a three-match ban following their altercation in Chelsea's win over Arsenal on Saturday.
Chelsea followed that Premier League victory by beginning their defence of the League Cup with a third-round 4-1 win at Walsall, but Costa's ban – having been charged by the FA on Monday – continued to be the focus in the aftermath of Wednesday's victory.
After beating Walsall, the Chelsea boss told reporters: "We know something which is that retaliation is allowed now. You can do it.
"You cannot compare a leg almost broken with men's discussion, you cannot compare that with a leg almost broken. That's what it was, a men's discussion.
"I don't comment [any further] because if I bring examples and go deep and bring feelings into the discussion a big suspension for me will be waiting and I don't want that. The team doesn't need that.
"We lost an important player for three match and don’t need to lose their manager. So I prefer to keep calm and quiet.
