'Is he playing him to put him in the shop window?': Frank Lampard's gamble to play Chelsea's £72m back-up Kepa Arrizabalaga backfires after ANOTHER horror mistake... but under-fire goalkeeper later redeems himself with stunning one-handed stop

Kepa Arrizabalaga squandered his chance back in the spotlight after the Chelsea goalkeeper committed another horror error in his team's FA Cup clash with Luton.

The 26-year-old, who joined the club from Athletic Bilbao for an eye-watering £72million fee in 2018, was placed back in the firing line at Stamford Bridge and failed his test.

The mistake even led to pundits questioning whether Frank Lampard handed the stopper a start in an attempt to find him another club - although Kepa soon went some way to repairing his reputation with a stunning second half save.
