Thomas Tuchel's extra-time goalkeeping substitution proved an inspired one as Kepa Arrizabalaga saved two penalties to help Chelsea beat Villarreal and add the UEFA Super Cup to their Champions League triumph.
Kepa was Chelsea’s hero after being brought on in the final minute of the added half hour just for the spot-kicks.
Kepa saved Villarreal’s second attempt with his first meaningful touch and then Villarreal captain Raul Albiol’s decisive kick to clinch a 6-5 shootout victory in Belfast.
In February 2019 Kepa sparked controversy when he infamously refused to come off when then manager Maurizio Sarri wanted to replace him for a Carabao Cup final shootout.
