MARC CUCURELLA cheekily hit back at Brighton boo boys after being jeered at the Amex last night.
The Spaniard, 25, left the Seagulls to join Chelsea in a £62million deal in August 2022.
Cucurella was in action last night as the Blues took on his former club.
Each time he or fellow ex-Seagull Moises Caicedo had the ball, they were booed by many in the Amex crowd.
The full-back didn't let the treatment affect his performance, and even laid on the assist for Cole Palmer's brilliant opener.

Chelsea then doubled their lead through Christopher Nkunku just after the hour mark.
Danny Welbeck pulled one back for the hosts deep into stoppage time after Reece James' red card.
But Cucurella and Co held firm to win 2-1, grabbing a vital three points.
After the match, the former Amex favourite had some fun with his old fans on social media.
Cucurella posted four pictures to his Instagram account, with three from the match and the other of WWE "heel", or comedy bad guy, John Cena.

And Trevoh Chalobah added "Yooo" as well as three laughing and three bicep emojis.
Chelsea's win was their fourth on the bounce in the Premier League.
The Blues are now in pole position to finish sixth in the table, and could even climb above Tottenham on the final day if they beat Bournemouth and Spurs lose to Sheffield United.
