The Chelsea boss was left furious at Kepa's open act of defiance - but was keen to make light of the incident after the game
Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has played down goalkeeper Kepa's extraordinary act of defiance in the Carabao Cup final, saying it was a "big misunderstanding".
The Spaniard refused to be substituted in the closing stages of Sunday's game at Wembley, despite twice going down with cramp.
Sarri wanted to bring on substitute goalkeeper Willy Caballero but was left seething when Kepa refused to leave the field.
