Chelsea's Marc Cucurella says he WON'T cut his hair, despite his locks being pulled by Cristian Romero ... as the defender is left baffled by Anthony Taylor's failure to act on the clash

Marc Cucurella has emphatically denied that he will cut his hair despite Tottenham’s Cristian Romero pulling the Chelsea defender’s locks during Sunday’s tense 2-2 draw between the London rivals.

The £62million addition excelled on his home-debut at Stamford Bridge but was involved in a flashpoint during added time with Spurs’ defender Romero.

While the two players grappled at a corner, Romero was seen to pull Cucurella’s hair, leaving the Spaniard on the floor.
