Why Does Everyone Hate Diego Costa?

Diego Costa has been one of the Premier League's best since joining Chelsea, and showed his class Sunday with yet another beauty. Watch as Costa bends it in from beyond the box:

Apparently Crawley Town's Defense Can Bend Space-Time

We need Stephen Hawking to explain how Crawlry Town's defense kept the ball from going into the net on this play against Accrington Stanley.

Moussa Dembele Is Scoring Important Goals For Celtic, And His Countrymen Are Noticing

Moussa Dembele’s latest goal for Celtic — in the 87th minute of Sunday’s League Cup semi-final against arch rival Rangers — sent the green end of Hampden Park, Scotland’s national stadium, into a frenzy.

It also sent Brendan Rodgers’ Hoops side into the final, with a 1-0 win, his second in as many games against the Ibrox men.

But as happy as Celtic supporters were with the goal, and the result, Dembele’s countrymen, it seems, are barely able to contain themselves.

West Ham And Chelsea Fans Clash During EFL Cup Match

Towards the end of West Ham’s win over London rival Chelsea, fans began hurling bottles and even seats at one another. The situation escalated when fans attempted to burst through the segregation line, requiring riot police to separate the parties. 

Watch as fans of both sides forget that they are there to watch a match:

Paul Pogba Must Be Protected Like The Great Barrier Reef

There was a strange moment in the EFL Cup fourth round match between Manchester United and Manchester City during the half-time break. The first half had passed largely without incident save for a Kelechi Iheanacho header that the young Nigerian got completely wrong. Zlatan Ibrahimovic had a wretched opening 45 minutes, but the half-time punditry, as it so often does this season, gradually shifted to Paul Pogba. 

During the commercial intermission, we were treated to this beautiful Adidas commercial concerning the world’s most expensive player: 

Cameron Carter-Vickers Will Be Very Good Despite Being Thrown To The Wolves In EFL Cup

Cameron Carter-Vickers, an 18-year-old American center back, made his second appearance for Tottenham Tuesday. It did not go well. His debut came in the EFL Cup against Gillingham and he played well in a win. Tuesday, though, the likes of Gillingham were nowhere to be seen. Tottenham played Liverpool.

Mauricio Pochettino continued the time-honored tradition of playing his second-string in the EFL Cup because who cares it's the EFL Cup, so Carter-Vickers got the nod. 

Liverpool also trotted out a fairly inexperienced side except for, um, the strikers.

Marouane Fellaini Has Overstayed His Welcome At Manchester United

Marouane Fellaini needs to be dropped. For a player whose job is to link defense and attack, he is one of the most unreliable middlemen in the game. The only consistency you get from the afroed Belgian is a world class chest trap and an imposing-yet-bumbling aerial presence. 

Jose Mourinho Loses 4-0 With The Most Expensive Squad In History

With a resounding 4-0 win over the Chelsea side, Antonio Conte showed Jose Mourinho how it’s done as he defeated the Portuguese with nearly the same squad he failed to perform with.

Is it finally time to accept that Mourinho isn’t who he once was? Chelsea fans surely seemed to agree during the titanic clash:
