With Cucurella having revealed that he would not say hello to Adama on the street, he was then forced to smile and clap as the muscular Hammers star appeared from behind the scenes.
Adama said: “It was just the heat of the moment during the match, nothing more.
“I personally ran into Marc, and I know he’s a good guy – it’s nothing personal, it all stays on the field.”
Cucurella then made a joke, adding: "Now I'm calm because there's a screen between us."
Speaking after the game, Hammers boss Nuno Espirito Santo said: "It's frustrating and sad that this game went away from us.
"The idea is to keep the same, the way we played in the first half. Chelsea were going to react, but we didn't defend it. Crosses created a lot of problems for us.
"We have to react. This week, it's about reacting, bouncing back and going again. We started the second half in control. After Chelsea reacted, we could not control it."
