Cucurella and Nicolas Jackson scored as Chelsea secured its fifth consecutive league win to close the gap to leaders Liverpool to two points. However, Chelsea conceded a goal in the final minute against Brentford, while Cucurella was shown a second yellow card following an altercation with forward Kevin Schade for “adopting an aggressive attitude”. We are happy, delighted with Marc’s performance.” Maresca confirmed midfielder Romeo Lavia is expected to return from injury for next Sunday’s trip to Everton while Joao Felix will also be available for their Conference League match against Shamrock Rovers on Thursday.
