And Cucurella, 26, was at fault for both of the North Londoners' goals as he slipped.

The full-back lost his balance after just five minutes when Dominic Solanke opened the scoring for Tottenham.

And the Spain international did the same just six minutes later, leading to Dejan Kulusevski's strike.

Cucurella was then seen storming towards the Chelsea bench to change his boots.

One fan tweeted: "Like Cinderella, Cucurella needs slippers that fit - Peter Drury."

Another commented: "How can he had not realised from warm up how wet it is."

A third wrote: "What a nightmare."
