Costa Coffee responds to Arsenal fans' boycott

Costa Coffee has poked fun at a campaign created by disgruntled Arsenal fans urging fellow supporters to boycott the chain following the antics of Chelsea striker Diego Costa.

The Spaniard angered Arsenal supporters when he had a confrontation with Gabriel Paulista, who was eventually sent off for kicking out at his opponent during Saturday's 2-0 win for Chelsea.

Gunners fan group Our Lot in Block 5 have called on fellow supporters to avoid Costa Coffee until Gabriel's ban is served.

After hearing of the campaign, the coffee chain's official Twitter account posted: "What a palaver! At least in the coffee game we're always up to scratch #BoycottCosta #GotTheWrongCosta."
