On Saturday, Cucurella got an assist for Palmer\u2019s third goal of three, and it earned praise from Arsenal icon Wright.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on Premier League Productions, Wright said: \u201cCucurella is someone, I really like Cucurella. He\u2019s always a seven or an eight out of 10, brilliant play down the left side for Cole Palmer to get his hat-trick.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Marc Cucurella is loving life under manager Liam Rosenior <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s seven wins from nine in all competitions, only losing to Arsenal in both legs of the Carabao Cup semi-finals.
