Marc Cucurella cannot understand why Cristian Romero was not censored for pulling his hair in the Battle of Stamford Bridge.
But Chelsea 's £62 million wing-back insists he will NOT be cutting his splendid tumbleweed despite the incident. Cucurella, who signed a six-year contract with Chelsea earlier this month, made an impressive home debut in the controversial 2-2 draw with Tottenham on Sunday.
The former Brighton defender was involved in a flashpoint during added time, moments before Harry Kane's 96th-minute equaliser for Spurs, when Romero tugged his bountiful mane – hard enough for Cucurella to hit the deck. Neither referee Anthony Taylor nor VAR Mike Dean saw fit to intervene, leaving Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel to rage: “Since when has it been permitted to pull an opponent's hair?”
