Diego Costa scored his first goal for Wolves against Brentford on Saturday, and club commentator Mikey Burrows recalled a funny moment involving the striker just after he scored.
The 34-year-old finally opened his account for Wanderers.
He struck in the first-half, converting a cross from Toti Gomes.
The ball was played against him, but he started the move and was in there to finish it off.
Costa has come in for a lot of plaudits since the game. It was without doubt his best display so far since he joined.
His link-up play, with Matheus Cunha in particular, was really good, and he worked his socks off for the team.
Provided he’s fit, he will surely be leading the line again this weekend against Leicester City.
Costa has really endeared himself to the Wolves faithful. Everybody loved seeing him finally break his duck on Saturday.
Part of the appeal with Costa is his personality.
By many accounts, he’s a bit of a joker behind the scenes.
On this week’s Wolves Weekly podcast, club commentator Burrows recalled something amusing Costa did after scoring his goal.
He joked: “There was just a moment with Diego Costa which made me love him even more.
“Having scored the goal, and as you say it was a barnstorming run to play it out wide and then make sure you’re there, (to finish) and then run off for the celebration.
“Immediately after the restart, he gets sent on a chase to go off and charge down a defender again.
“And you could then tell, he was done! He was puffing! There was nothing in the tank for a couple of minutes.
“There was a moment where Joao Gomes wanted to pass him the ball, and he just gave him a look that was like ‘Don’t you dare ask me to chase anything!’ and he just kind of strolled around for the next five or 10 minutes. Still in the game. But just conserving himself.
“I just thought, that is a guy that absolutely knows his body and his game to the absolute max.”
Wolves striker Diego Costa’s work-rate is brilliant for his age
Costa worked his socks off against Brentford. And his work-rate in general is very good considering he is 34.
It’s brilliant to see him charging people down and setting an example.
It is something the fans love too.
The fact he is mid-thirties will mean there are inevitably times when he will fade out of games.
Wolves just have to manage the situation when that happens.
