Why Marc Cucurella was shown red card after Chelsea’s win over Brentford Marc Cucurella was shown a second yellow card after the final whistle of Chelsea’s 2-1 win over Brentford on Sunday on an eventful evening for the full-back.
It was an irritating end for Cucurella and Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, but it was another good day overall for the Blues.
The win sees Chelsea move within two points of league-leaders Liverpool, although the Reds have a game in hand.
Then after the final whistle there was a confrontation between players, with Cucurella and Brentford’s Kevin Schade exchanging words.
The Spaniard opened the scoring on 43 minutes, with Nicolas Jackson adding a second before a late Bryan Mbeumo consolation for the Bees.
