Ryan Shawcross amusingly responds to Diego Costa’s claim that he smells

The pits

Simon Lloyd

Ryan Shawcross came off the better following his battle with Diego Costa.

The Stoke captain was on the winning side over Costa’s Chelsea, and the pair were involved in a string of incidents throughout the game.

Clearly frustrated as his side headed towards another Premier League defeat, the Spaniard attempted to rile the defender.

Pointing at his armpit, Costa bizarrely suggested that Shawcross had a problem with his personal hygiene.

In the aftermath of the game, the Stoke defender has responded.

A smiling Shawcross is pictured holding a can of deodorant in a tweet by his wife, Kath.

It’s safe to say Shawcross has had the last laugh in this one.
