Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga stunned viewers and angered his manager Maurizio Sarri when he refused to be substituted towards the end of extra-time against Manchester City.

Sarri wanted to replace him with Willy Caballero with the Argentine possessing a fine penalty-saving record. However, the Spaniard waved away the substitution and stayed on with his side losing to City on penalties.
