“Great win, Arsenal, even after a goalless first half. As Arsenal did in this game for we, the fans, we will also Recover Nigeria for Nigerians.”

Watch Marc Cucurella’s comical defending

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Marc Cucurella's difficult season at Chelsea continued after he was found culpable of Arsenal's winner against the Blues on November 6.

Chelsea welcomed Arsenal to Stamford Bridge and despite the visitors dominating proceedings, they only got one goal scored by Gabriel Magalhaes. Graham Potter's side appeared out of sorts as the Gunners went back to the top of the Premier League table.

Cucurella has been criticised for his role in Arsenal's goal. The Spanish defender started his stint at Chelsea brilliantly but has been hooked off before full time on several occasions.
