Full-back Marc Cucurella dumped his boots in the bin after an erratic first-half display during Chelsea’s 4-3 victory against London rivals Tottenham. The Spaniard slipped twice in the first ten minutes of the match, resulting in the Blues conceding two quick-fire goals. Tottenham took an early 2-0 lead into the match. For the Blues, Cucurella was at fault as he made two costly errors.
Firstly in the sixth minute, he slipped with the ball and lost his balance to fall to the ground. Dominic Solanke capitalized on the opportunity to dispossess him and score the opener. He once again stumbled in the 11th minute, allowing Dejan Kulusevki to score the second goal. He immediately rushed towards the dugout to change his boots on the sidelines, while discarding his old pair in disgust.
The change worked surprisingly, as he went on to feature until the 90th minute, making no significant errors. The ex-Brighton left-back quickly gained momentum with his new pair of boots, and also went on to assist Jadon Sancho six minutes later.

The Blues later staged an epic comeback to win the match 4-3. The 26-year-old later posted an image of his boots in the dressing room bin on Instagram, accompanied with a caption. He hilariously blamed his boots for the errors, as the caption read out, ‘Sorry Blues.’
Enzo Maresca pokes fun at Marc Cucurella’s slip by making Premier League title race admission
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca once again suggested that his team cannot challenge for the EPL title. This admission comes despite remaining second on the table. He made a hilarious reference to Marc Cucurella’s slip, while stating his side’s chance in the title race.
Cucurella had slipped twice and the team needed a comeback to win the match. Despite the club now remaining just four points behind league leaders Liverpool, Enzo Maresca suggested that his side would not win the title this season by referring to Cucurella’s incident.
Arsenal, City and Liverpool probably don’t slide… like Marc Cucurella did! To be serious, we are not ready, we are far from these teams.
Enzo Maresca to reporters (H/T GOAL)
Enzo Maresca has made such Premier League title admissions several times in the past as well. He had previously cited the inexperience in his young squad as a key factor undermining Chelsea’s title aspirations. It remains to be seen if his players can sprung a surprise and somehow win the Premier League.
