Micah Richards and Alan Shearer agree on 'embarrassing' Chelsea star in Arsenal defeat

Marc Cucurella has been slammed for his performance against Arsenal, in particular his role in the only goal of the game.

Gabriel Magalhaes put the Gunners 1-0 up in the second half after Graham Potter's Chelsea side made an almighty mess of clearing a corner and the Blues never truly responded. They had been second best until the hour mark and the loss has put pressure on Potter after four league games without a win.

The former Brighton manager is working with a depleted squad due to injuries in the backline and midfield, and his decision to play Ben Chilwell against Dinamo Zagreb has already backfired. Not only is the England fullback now ruled out of the World Cup with a 'significant' hamstring injury, he will likely miss matches even upon the return of domestic football in late December.
