Kepa Arrizabalaga's performance against Aston Villa was 'WORLD class,' claims boss Graham Potter... with the new Chelsea boss full of praise for the Spanish shot-stopper's mentality after a 'tough period' out of the side

Graham Potter praised Kepa Arrizabalaga after the Chelsea goalkeeper put in a match-winning performance away at Aston Villa.

Deputising in place of the injured Edouard Mendy, Kepa made a series of crucial saves as Chelsea extended their unbeaten start to life under Potter.

Speaking after the win, which took Chelsea up to fourth and left Steven Gerrard and Aston Villa staring further into the abyss, Potter praised his goalkeeper and said that he was 'pleased for him' after a tough period in which he lost the number one shirt to Mendy.
