Kepa Arrizabalaga refuses to be substituted in the Carabao Cup final

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalagawas involved in a moment of controversy during his side’s Carabao Cup final clash against Manchester City as he refused to leave the pitch, once Maurizio Sarri had opted to bring on Willy Caballero.

The young Spaniard appeared to suffer a muscular problem on two occasions in extra-time, dropping to the floor each time, and that caused Sarri to decide that he should bring on Caballero.

Kepa then ignored his coach by refusing to come off, which led to Sarri – and the Chelsea coaching staff – looking infuriated as their player had showed a complete lack of respect.

Sarri even went to walk down the tunnel and leave the game prematurely, but he made the choice to stay.
