Arsenal legend David Seaman has waded into the situation surrounding goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga and manager Maurizio Sarri at Chelsea.
The footballing world was thrown into a state of disbelief after Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga refused to be substituted during the Blues’ Carabao Cup final clash with Premier League champions Manchester City.
The incident took place towards the end of extra time while substitute goalkeeper Willy Caballero was on the touchline.
Reacting to the incident via his recent interview monitored by Goal, former Arsenal goalkeeper Seaman said that Kepa was disrespectful to both Sarri and Caballero.

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri made the decision to drop Kepa from the Blues starting XI for the Tottenham Hotspur game in the Premier League on Wednesday night and that has been roundly applauded by fans and pundits alike.
Kepa had earlier been fined a week’s salary for his conduct during the Carabao Cup clash which Chelsea lost 4-3 on penalties after a goalless affair at the end of both regulation and extra time.
In his place, Willy Caballero was given the starting shirt for the Spurs game and he kept a clean sheet as Chelsea boosted their top four hopes with a 2-0 home win over their London rivals.
