SNAPPED! Diego Costa blew fuse being hooked for Atletico Madrid hero Llorente

Diego Costa was furious at being substituted during Atletico Madrid's shock Champions League win at Liverpool.

Costa was the first player taken off by Diego Simeone in Atletico Madrid's second leg against Liverpool and the striker didn't hide his frustration.

The coach replaced the forward with Marcos Llorente in the 55th minute and Costa walked off with expressions of bemusement on his face and then kicked his seat in the dugout before sitting down.

He didn't exchange any words or handshake with Simeone before taking his place on the bench.
