The result made it just two wins from Chelsea’s last 13 games, piling further pressure onto the West Londoners.
Mudryk, an £88million January signing from Shakhtar Donetsk, underwhelmed again – and appeared to show his frustration at Cucurella.
During the match he made a dart in behind, only for the left-back to instead opt to pass inside to Enzo Fernandez.
The Ukrainian appeared furious at the time.
And his Instagram account later “liked” a post making reference to Cucurella’s passing.
The meme showed the 24-year-old ignoring Mudryk in favour of all of his other Chelsea team-mates.
Mudryk’s account later unliked the post.
Cucurella was substituted for Ben Chilwell in the 67th minute, the England ace returning for just his second Prem appearance since recovering from his hamstring injury.

The former Brighton left-back’s removal was greeted by cheers from the frustrated travelling Blues fans.
Addressing Cucurella’s form after the match, boss Graham Potter defended him – but admitted that he can be better.
He said: “Supporters are entitled to their opinion of course, they just want the team to do well and as I said in the previous press conference I don’t think Marc is in his absolute best moment.
“But at the same time he’s been part of a team that’s kept a clean sheet at Anfield, a clean sheet against Fulham.
“In the summer, I know because I was at the selling club, there was another club that were interested in Marc.
“From a points view in the Premier League they are a good club, so Marc hasn’t become a bad player at all but some players can go through bad times so we need to stick together and help him.
“Supporters are entitled to their opinion there’s nothing for me to be critical of. That’s just what we have to work with.”
