The tale of two shootouts: Kepa Arrizabalaga embarrassed Chelsea in the 2019 Carabao Cup final by refusing to come off and nearly was a £72m flop... now he's the toast of the west London after his Super Cup heroics and Thomas Tuchel can rely on him again

Extra-time substitutions before penalty shootouts are becoming the norm.

Gareth Southgate was criticised for his pre-shootout calls for England in the Euro 2020 final with Italy, but no-one has felt the impact of the trend more than Kepa Arrizabalaga at Chelsea.

After coming on to save two spot kicks against Villarreal in Wednesday's Super Cup final shootout, Kepa has now taken up both roles of extra-time villain and penalty hero - after he refused to be substituted for the Blues in the 2019 Carabao Cup final against Manchester City.
