Diego Costa: John Obi Mikel's reaction to Jose Mourinho bib-throwing incident is priceless

John Obi Mikel seems to giggle away at the incident

Diego Costa appeared to throw his warm-up bib at Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho during the 0-0 draw with Tottenham today, and fellow unused subsitute John Obi Mikel's reaction to the incident was priceless (watch video below).

The Nigeria midfielde was sat next to Costa, seemed to giggle when Costa's bib hit Mourinho.

In the 92nd minute, after it became obvious he would not be used, Costa jogged back from his warm up down the touchline, took off his bib and threw it in the direction of Mourinho.

The Brazil-born Spain striker had a public row with Mourinho during Chelsea' s 4-0 win at Maccabi Tel Aviv on Tuesday, though Mourinho has since said that they made up with "kisses and cuddles".

"He's playing every match and things are not going really well for his confidence," the Blues manager said today ahead of kick off at White Hart Lane, explaining his selection.

In the match, Tottenham extended their unbeaten Premier League run to 13 matches by drawing 0-0 against a Chelsea side showing signs of recovery but still languishing in the lower half of the standings.

Feeling the effects of a long mid-week trip to Azerbaijan for the Europa League, Tottenham provided little goal threat but was able to contain Chelsea to celebrate their best streak in the league since the 1984-85 season.

While Chelsea failed to get their first back-to-back league wins in a disappointing title defence, a solid display at the back secured a third consecutive clean sheet for Jose Mourinho's team.

Chelsea are five points above the relegation zone and 10 behind fifth-place Tottenham.
