Your support makes all the difference.Ryan Shawcross and his wife have tweeted a brilliant response in retaliation to Diego Costa's suggestion that the Stoke defender had a problem with body odour.
During yesterday's Premier League meeting at the Britannia Stadium between Stoke and Chelsea, the two battled all afternoon.
Ultimately Shawcross came out on top, with his Stoke side managing to keep a clean sheet and nick a goal at the other end to win 1-0 and pile yet more pressure on Chelsea.
But Costa made a rather mean accusation during the game. The Chelsea striker appeared to suggest his opponent smelt, with the Spain international caught on camera holding his nose, lifting his armpit and pointing at Shawcross.

With the comment clearly not forgotten, Shawross's wife Kath posted an excellent riposte on Twitter.
Alongside a picture of her husband holding a can of deodorant, she wrote: "Made sure Ryan Shawcross put his deodorant on this evening".
It seems that not only did Shawcross win the match, but also his feud with Costa.
