Chelsea Frustrated as Bournemouth’s Brooks Avoids Red Card for Hair Pull on Cucurella
Chelsea were left aggrieved during their dramatic 2-2 Premier League draw with Bournemouth after David Brooks escaped a red card for pulling Marc Cucurella’s hair.
The controversial incident unfolded shortly after Justin Kluivert had leveled the score for the visitors.
As Chelsea attempted a counter-attack, Cucurella surged down the left flank but was brought down by Brooks, who appeared to tug his hair during the challenge.
The Spaniard fell to the ground clutching his face, leading to a VAR review of the incident. Despite the review, no further action was taken, leaving Chelsea frustrated with the decision.
