Watch Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella Get Bullied by Young Aston Villa Player

• Marc Cucurella was recently embarrassed by Aston Villa's young player Kaden Young
• Cucurella has struggled to replicate his impeccable form at Brighton that drew interest
• He is expected to be in the Blues' starting XI when the league season resumes again

Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella recently got himself in a tricky situation, after he was embarrassed by a young Aston Villa player.

The incident happened during Chelsea's mid-season friendly game against Unai Emery's men in Abu Dhabi.

Cucurella, who joined Chelsea from Brighton in the summer, had a decent start to life in West London but faded off after a few weeks. His loss of form was compounded by Ben Chilwell's return to full fitness.

He was handed a lifeline when the English defender picked up another serious injury, but he is yet to justify the hefty 62 million Euros Chelsea paid for his services.

Cucurella left for dead

Against Villa, he was one of Graham Potter's first team present when 16-year-old Kaden Young breezed past him with ease.

Young shielded the ball away from him before making a beeline for the goal area, leaving Cucurella sprawling on the floor.

Fans were quick to react to the video, with some saying the Blues were scammed a lot of money for Cucurella. The Barcelona academy graduate was voted the best player at Brighton last season.

John McGinn's strike in the seventh minute was the difference between the two sides, as they continue with their preparations ahead of the Premier League return after the World Cup.
