Kepa Arrizabalaga: 'Mutiny at Chelsea' after bizarre substitution that never was
By Admin
Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga resisted Maurizio Sarri's attempt to substitute him late in extra-time of the Carabao Cup final, which left his manager seething on the touchline.
Arrizabalaga had just been treated for cramp and, with the game at 0-0, Sarri was preparing to bring on reserve keeper Willy Caballero in his place ahead of a penalty shoot-out.

Arrizabalaga incident a misunderstanding - Sarri
But after some furious finger-wagging and screams of "NO!", Sarri was forced to give in.
Referee Jonathan Moss ran over to confirm whether Arrizabalaga was going off or not and Sarri, begrudgingly backed down before storming off down the tunnel before returning, leaving Caballero a bemused spectator.
Arrizabalaga went on to save Leroy Sane's spot-kick - bringing out a fist pump from Sarri - but Raheem Sterling netted the winning penalty as Manchester City were crowned Carabao Cup champions for a second year running with a 4-3 shootout win.
Sarri didn't react at full-time and went straight off the pitch while his players looked dejected in defeat.
