They seemed furious at each other during the dying seconds of that Chelsea-West Ham clash recently, but it was obviously not as bad as it might look
The recent Premier League battle between Chelsea and West Ham United had all the elements of a blockbuster drama, including an incredible home-side comeback and a serious skirmish in the last moments of the game.
The scenes of rampant Adama Traore punching and throwing several opponents, including Marc Cucurella and Joao Pedro, went viral. The robust forward of African origins seemed furious, probably due to Chelsea's time wasting, and he didn't hesitate to show his fire-cracking temperament.

So, you probably think he's still as mad at Cucurella as it gets? Well, think again...
Traore surprised Cucurella a few nights ago by appearing unexpectedly on the Spanish TV show 3 Cat Fanzone, following their clash last weekend.
It was Cucurella who said, "These are things that happen. I have no problem. Although if I ran into him on the street, I'd hesitate to say hello after this."
But then, all of a sudden, Traore appeared on the screen, and, surprised, Cucurella applauded when told that he didn't have to wait long as Traore joined the show.
Both players then broke into laughter after Cucurella concluded: "Now I'm calm because there's a screen between us."
