GETTY Adebayo Akinfenwa says he could have Diego Costa

The AFC Wimbledon star retained his title as the strongest player on EA sports game FIFA 16 this year, holding off competition from Chris Samba and Wilfried Bony. And in the wake of Diego Costa's latest on-the-pitch antics against Arsenal's Gabriel, Akinfenwa has admitted he would win if they ever came to blows.

Speaking at the FIFA 16 launch, he said: "I’m gonna have to keep it real. If it came down to it I’d have to snooze Diego Costa. "I like him as a player but there’s only one winner if he comes up against me."
