Cucurella thinks referee Taylor made a mistake for Romero’s foul

The Blues defender says that Cristian Romero’s hair pull he did on him was “obvious” as day and not to the defender was a “referee and VAR error”.

The battle between

Chelsea

and

Tottenham

was full of drama as Cristian Romero was not punished for tugging

Marc Cucurella

’s hair as Tottenham attacked a corner.

The game came down to a 2-2 draw, with Antonio Conte and Thomas Tuchel having an argument at full-time.

Tuchel believes both of Spurs’ goals should have been ruled out and Cucurella thinks Anthony Taylor and VAR Mike Dean made an error when they chose not to punish the Tottenham defender.

"For me it is too clear in the game, on the pitch,"

Cucurella told a press conference when asked about the incident.

"I didn't see it on the TV, the video. I think it's very clear, but this is one error of the referee or VAR.

"Sometimes the referees have good decisions, sometimes not. This is not my problem. Maybe we need to work harder to not concede this goal in the last minute.

"I saw [VAR] checking for a red card in the stadium. For me it is clear. In this moment, I don't know what happened."

Cucurella also said that his hair is okay in a funny way and he will not consider changing his style. He also revealed that there is no hard feeling with Romero.

"I have no problem with him,"

the Spaniard added.

"It's just one action of the game but maybe it was important because it changed the final result.

"For me it's no problem. Before the game I spoke with him [Romero]. I have no problem. It's only one action in the game. Maybe an important action because it changes the final result. We have another opportunity [to beat Spurs]."
