Trevoh Chalobah does NOT need to go out on loan, Timo Werner misfires with Romelu Lukaku looming and ruthless Thomas Tuchel unlikely to shy away from bold decisions after Kepa Arrizabalaga gamble... FIVE THINGS WE LEARNED from Chelsea's Super Cup win

Kepa Arrizabalaga was the unlikely hero as Chelsea ended their recent UEFA Super Cup hoodoo to lift the showpiece trophy in Belfast following a nail-biting contest against Villarreal.

The Blues have been burnt on three occasions in this competition, and their fate at Windsor Park was to be decided on the lottery of a penalty shootout, with neither side able to be separated after 120 minutes.

Up stepped Arrizabalaga - a late substitute from Thomas Tuchel for Edouard Mendy on the 119th minute - who saved two spot kicks to send the travelling Chelsea supporters into bedlam as they got their hands on yet another piece of silverware.
