Five intimidating Premier League frontmen following Costa’s antics

The towering Scot was constantly embroiled in on-field bust-ups with opposing defenders, with his aggressive approach making him a cult hero at Goodison Park.

Alan Shearer
With his incredible ability to score with either foot and his true talents in front of goal, the Premier League’s all-time record hitman was almost impossible to deal with.

Coral ambassador Shearer possessed the power to deal with any opposing backline, which literally made him the most prolific striker in England to date.

Eric Cantona
Known for his French flair and ability to shift the balance of games in his side’s favour at will, Cantona was also well regarded for being a fierce competitor in the Premier League, having not been afraid to make the most of confrontations.

Other than his now infamous Kung-Fu kick incident for Manchester United, the Old Trafford legend was able to compete with seemingly superior defenders, helping him be the star of the Red Devils’ domestic domination in the 1990s.

Les Ferdinand
Tottenham currently have a young Harry Kane leading their line, and are 7/1 for a top four finish, but club legend Ferdinand was once the vocal point of all attacks at White Hart Lane.

Having dispatched the eighth-most goals in Premier League history, ‘Sir Les’, as he is affectionately known as by Spurs, Newcastle United and QPR fans alike, was a supreme striker that bullied defences for two decades.
