Chelsea extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table to 9 points with a draw against Liverpool at Anfield on Tuesday night.
David Luiz scored a brilliant free-kick to put the visitors in front before Wijnaldum equalized later on.
Costa went to ground under a challenge from Joel Matip 14 minutes to the end of the game and Chelsea were awarded a penalty by Referee Mark Clattenburg. However, the Spain striker's spot kick was saved by Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet.
Speaking after the game, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said: "I said before the game - and people didn't like it - but this wonderful, powerful club needs to keep its nerves.
"Not everything is bad because we lose. This team is outstanding in attitude so let's do the best we can and see where we end up at the end of the season. The results tonight were good for us, but we must continue to fight."
On his part, Chelsea boss Antonio Conte said: "It was a very tough game. Both teams tried to play with intensity. I'm pleased. We saw a different game to when we played Liverpool and lost at home.
"It's pity Diego Costa missed the penalty because he played very well. We had different chances to score goals, but we must be happy with the result and the performance because it is not easy to play away at Liverpool."
