Premier League's ultimate pantomime villain Marc Cucurella makes a VERY honest admission about his dark arts - as new Refcam footage of his role in Chelsea-West Ham brawl emerges
Marc Cucurella has made a very honest admission about the role he played during Chelsea's explosive brawl with West Ham players last week. The feisty clash at Stamford Bridge erupted into chaos in second-half stoppage time after Adama Traore threw Cucurella to the floor by the corner flag. While both sets of players brawled in a huge melee, West Ham star Jean-Clair Todibo grabbed Joao Pedro by the throat and was subsequently sent off by referee Anthony Taylor following a VAR check. Appearing on the Spanish TV program 'Fanzone', Cucurella said, jokingly: 'Joao Pedro saved my life, honestly, if I were Joao, I would have run backwards. Todibo later issued an apology to West Ham fans on social media after his red card in the closing stages of the game.
