Tottenham player Cristian Romero pulled Marc Cucurella’s hair before the corner kick which led to Harry Kane’s stoppage time equaliser.
Romero dragged Cucurella by the hair until he fell to the ground, but referee Anthony Taylor failed to spot the foul, and VAR failed to react after reviewing the incident.
Despite being the victim of such assault, Cucurella has vowed never to cut his hair.
“No. Never. This is my style!” Cucurella said at a press conference when asked if he plans to cut his hair.
“The hair is good!” he joked when asked if it still hurts.
“For me it is too clear in the game, on the pitch. I didn’t see it on the TV, the video. I think it’s very clear but this is one error of the referee or VAR.
“Sometimes the referees have good decisions, sometimes not. This is not my problem.
“Maybe we need to work harder to not concede this goal in the last minute. I saw checking for a red card in the stadium. For me it is clear. In this moment, I don’t know what happened.
“I have no problem with him [Romero]. It’s just one action of the game but maybe it was important because it changed the final result.”
