The Chelsea captain had a chance to shoot but instead turned and spun excellently but chipping a cross to the backpost, where Cucurella was on hand to score his seventh goal of the season.
It provided a lifeline for Chelsea, who knew they needed to win to stay in the top four after Aston Villa beat Tottenham earlier in the night.
Harry Maguire thought he had put the visitors in front when he fired home with an emphatic finish, but it was chalked off for offside.
In a first half of few chances James came closest to scoring, unleashing a swerving drive from outside the box that smacked off the post.
