Chelsea fans all say same thing about Kepa after keeper bizarrely decides not to stop Grealish’s cross for Man City goal


CHELSEA fans were left raging at goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga for his part in Manchester City’s winner on Thursday night.

The Spanish ace, 28, has usurped Edouard Mendy as Blues No1 this term since the arrival of Graham Potter.

But the Spanish stopper may find himself under scrutiny from his boss as supporters blasted him following Riyad Mahrez’s goal to earn the Cityzens a 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge.

Manchester City’s substitutes linked up as they broke the deadlock on 63 minutes.

Jack Grealish produced a low cross from the left across the six-yard box, which Kepa appeared to pull out of diving for, allowing the ball to whiz past him and allowing Mahrez to tap in at the back post.

And Chelsea fans were left baffled by the goalie’s decision not to stick out an arm to try to stop the pass as they quickly took to Twitter to slam him.

One wrote: “Why doesn’t Kepa try to cut the cross out? It doesn’t look that far away from him!”

Another tweeted: “If I was Kepa, I would simply try to use my arms.”

A fellow supporter said: “I have no idea why Kepa left that ball roll past him.”

A more angry fan wrote: “Don’t understand why Kepa just lets that roll past him for Mahrez to score. S***e goalkeeping.”
