'It wasn’t my intention to go against the manager' - Kepa clarifies Sarri row

The goalkeeper says he wasn't trying to undermine his manager in Sunday's Carabao Cup final

Kepa Arrizabalaga has come out to explain his on-pitch row with Maurizio Sarri in the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City, which threatened to overshadow Chelsea's penalty shootout defeat to Pep Guardiola's side.

The £71 million summer signing was involved in the incident at the end of extra time, where Willy Caballero was set to come on after Arrizabalaga went down injured with cramp.

Sarri has described the incident as a "misunderstanding" in his post-match press conference but he was seen to be seething on the final whistle and he had to be held back Antonio Rudiger at Wembley Stadium, when confronting his goalkeeper.
