JACK STEPHENS had Southampton fans pulling out their hair after he tried to do the same to Marc Cucurella's.
The Saints were down 2-1 to Chelsea when the defender was involved in a penalty box clash with Cucurella.
And replays revealed he pulled on the Spanish left-back's hair - causing Cucurella to fall to the ground.
Upon VAR replays, Tony Harrington was left with no choice but to show the Southampton captain red.
And one Saints fan fumed: "Strip him of the club captaincy. Ridiculous."
Another raged: "Jack Stephens once again getting himself sent off? Pathetic excuse of a captain."
One said: "When we self destruct it’s always special how we go about it"
Another added: "GET HIM OUT OUR F***ING CLUB RIGHT NOW."
Stephens was banned for three games earlier in the season after his sending off against Manchester United in September.
Axel Disasi opened the scoring on seven minutes following a corner but Joe Aribo levelled soon after.
Following a mishap at the back, Christopher Nkunku restored Chelsea's lead before Noni Madueke made it 3-1.
Stephens was then shown red five minutes from the break to leave Southampton with an almighty task of turning the game around.
Chelsea ended the game as 5-1 winners with Cole Palmer and Jadon Sancho adding to the scoring.

Those players who pulled hair ought to be sent off for violent conduct. no excuse. but for a Captain to do that, he is very childish behaviour for doing that

A captain of the club pulling the hair is such a silly thing!! It’s more than a red card, there are no second thoughts about it. Foolishness and irresponsible. People who are blaming Cucurella for being so soft, what else he can do?? Unless you go to ground ref won’t check.

You should learn to stay with your players. It's not normal to cry them down.

As soft as it was, it's still a red card day or night. When Romero got away with it in the 2-2 draw, refs came out weeks after and said he should have been sent off. You can't do those petty shit and get away these days...

Try to read well before saying rubbish. Don't you see the red card statement coming after the 3:1 statement??
