BREAKING Marc Cucurella red carded in Chelsea nightmare before team-mates let rip at referee
Jan 07 2026 20:17 · By Patrick Austen-Hardy · 31 Reads
Liam Rosenior watched his new Chelsea side suffer a disciplinary nightmare as Marc Cucurella saw red against Fulham . Rosenior, 41, did not take charge of the Blues at Craven Cottage, instead opting to watch from the stands.
Calum McFarlane impressed with his decision making and selections in the 1-1 away draw against Manchester City . The Blues started strongly with Enzo Fernandez almost scoring directly from a corner and Andrey Santos deflecting another set-piece from the Argentine onto the crossbar.
However, the disciplinary issues which hampered the World Club Cup winners during Enzo Maresca's reign reared their ugly heads again. Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno spotted Harry Wilson with a 75-yard pass and the in form Welshman got the wrong side of Cucurella.

The Spaniard panicked and ended up dragging Wilson down while he was the last defender. The referee did not hesitate reaching for his red card, leaving the Chelsea players furious.
Enzo Fernandez furiously berated the official, who gave him a yellow card for dissent before Cole Palmer also talked himself into the book. Tosin Adrabioyo was also booked for the same reason.
Unbelievably, it was Chelsea's fifth Premier League red card this season. No other team in the division has been given more than two red cards this season.
