If in a Chelsea – Tottenham match in August 2022 ‘Cuti’ Romero was expelled for grabbing Marc Cucurella by the hair, now, more than two years later, Jack Stephens, captain of Southampton, suffered the same fate after attacking the Spanish footballer.
The match was already seen for sentencing. Chelsea won 1-3, being a cyclone. They were flying at St. Mary’s Stadium. Disasi, Nkunku and Madueke had scored the goals for the Blues, who are second in the Premier League; Aribo, the goal for the locals.
But in the 40th minute, the local captain was sent off for grabbing Cucurella by the hair. Harrington, referee of the match, determined this after checking the VAR.
