KEPA ARRIZABALAGA was hailed by Chelsea fans online after giving matchwinner Kai Havertz advice on the sideline.
Havertz came off the bench to score and dramatically give the Blues all three points against West Ham at Stamford Bridge.
But before the German made it on to the pitch, he was seen getting advice from substitute stopper Kepa.
And it had fans all saying the same thing as the Spaniard was praised for his team spirit.
One said: “Kepa coached Havertz into scoring that goal. Love the mans work rate even on the bench.”
Another said: “Kepa is going to a great manager one day.”

But Chelsea turned it around thanks to supersubs Ben Chilwell and Havertz.

In the build up, Jarrod Bowen collided with Edouard Mendy before Cornet converted from the loose ball.
VAR official Jarred Gillett advised Andy Madley to go over to the monitor and check the goal.
Replays appeared to show little contact between Bowen and Mendy but after the Senegalese stopper stayed down, the play was brought back.
Chelsea and Mendy were deemed fortunate to get away with it as some called for Kepa to be given a chance back in goal.
One argued: “If we don’t drop Mendy next game we are doing injustice to Kepa. End of story!”
Another added: “Kepa should start next match on Tuesday abeg. Mendy can sit this out for a game.”
