📈 Cucurella makes headlines for all the wrong reasons in Chelsea vs Spurs

📈 Cucurella makes headlines for all the wrong reasons in Chelsea vs Spurs

Premier League title challengers Chelsea have it all to do today after going 2-0 down early against London rivals Tottenham.

In a disastrous opening eleven minutes of action in North London, Spurs blitzed in front through Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski, with both goals having one thing in common; Marc Cucurella.


The Spanish international slipped on the ball, giving possession away in the Blues' half on both occasions leading up to Spurs finding the back of the net.

With that, Cucurella became the first Chelsea player in league history with multiple errors leading to a goal in a single game.

It is also the earliest that Chelsea have been down by two goals in a Premier League fixture dating back to December 1996 against Leeds United.

Thankfully for Enzo Maresca, Jadon Sancho pulled one back six minutes after Kulusevski's strike in what is turning out to be another end-to-end blockbuster between these two.
