Marc Cucurella has binned the boots which saw him slip twice in Chelsea’s 4-3 win over Tottenham on Sunday.
The left-back was mortified when Tottenham raced into an early 2-0 lead as Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski capitalised on his tumbles.
That saw the Spaniard hastening to the touchline to swap out the cursed boots and equip his feet with a more fitting pair.
His blushes were spared after Jadon Sancho, Cole Palmer with two penalties, and Enzo Fernandez flipped the game on its head, but the damage was done.
And so he jettisoned the guilty kickers after the match, sharing a photo of them in the bin on Instagram and issuing a two-word message to fans.
‘Sorry Blues,’ the left-back wrote on his Instagram Stories page, in a post that was quickly deleted.
