Chelsea striker Diego Costa was involved in a heated bust-up with PSG midfielder Yohan Cabaye last night after Chelsea were knocked out of the Champions League following the 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge.

Sky Sports cameras picked up on the pair screaming at each other after the final whistle before a Chelsea steward stepped in to pull Costa away, and then escort him off the pitch.

Cabaye, who was an unused substitute in the game, can be seen shouting at Costa.

The combustible Costa was on the war path all night, clashing with Thiago Motta, David Luiz, as well as pushing Marquinhos to the ground behind the referee's back - after he had already received a yellow card.

Former Liverpool player and manager Graeme Souness labelled Chelsea's approach in their Champions League exit to PSG as "pathetic".

The Blues crashed out of the competition on away goals after drawing the last-16 second leg match 2-2, meaning PSG progressed with the aggregate finishing 3-3.
