Diego Costa is Chelsea’s top goalscorer this season… which makes his crossbar challenge effort even more surprising
DIEGO COSTA is Premier League leaders Chelsea’s top goalscorer this season.
That makes his pretty shocking crossbar challenge all the more surprising.
The Blues hitman was challenged by F2 Freestylers to hit the bar from what looked about 20 yards away.
So, from a distance well ahead of the traditional half-way line, and done indoors without the variables of wind and rain, Costa was already at an advantage.
And it looked like he may pull off a decent return from his ten efforts when three of his first four hit the woodwork.
