Chelsea player Cucurella received red card after Brentford game.

On Sunday evening, Marc Cucurella had quite a dramatic night. The Chelsea full-back was involved in some intense moments during their match against Brentford. The game ended with a 2-1 victory for Chelsea, but it was far from a peaceful affair.

Cucurella himself opened the scoring for Chelsea in the 43rd minute, followed by a goal from Nicolas Jackson. However, the match didn't end there. Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo managed to score a late consolation goal in the 90th minute, adding some tension to the already heated game.

Things escalated further after the final whistle blew. Cucurella received his first yellow card for a foul on Fabio Carvalho during injury time. Then, as the players were leaving the field, there was a heated confrontation between Cucurella and Brentford's Kevin Schade. The assistant referee had to intervene and pull Cucurella away, but it didn't end there.

Referee Peter Bankes was not pleased with Cucurella's behavior and showed him a second yellow card, followed by a red card. It was a disappointing end to the game for Cucurella and Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca. However, overall it was a successful day for Chelsea, as they moved within two points of league-leaders Liverpool, although Liverpool still has a game in hand.

Jackson, who scored the second goal for Chelsea, spoke positively about their form under their impressive manager. He described it as a "very big win" against a tough opponent, and credited their success to following their manager's plan. He also mentioned the team's growing understanding and confidence as they continue to work together.

Looking back on the game, Maresca agreed that they were in control for most of the match and created plenty of chances. He believed they deserved the win, although he acknowledged their slip-up in the last 10 minutes that led to Brentford's goal. Maresca also emphasized the team's focus on each game and not getting too caught up in the standings.

Overall, it was a thrilling and eventful evening for Cucurella and Chelsea. Despite the chaotic ending, they were able to secure another win and continue their strong form under their talented manager.
