Kepa, the Chelsea keeper flatly refused to be subbed and Sarri had to back down.
Incredible
Unbelievable.
No way he can stay at the club now.
What a penalty shoot out this is
Man City win on penalties
Astonishing goings on
He'll be supporting a flyover on the M25 by Chelsea's next match.
If was Sarri I'd walk tonight. The club is a mess
The keeper should be ashamed of himself
Even more curious how he was allowed to partake in the penalty shoot-out after all that.
That's a shambles, terrible behaviour from Kepa
Shouldn’t the game have been suspended until the change was made? It seems as though the officials were no help to the Chelsea management. Something's got to give at that club, going to be an interesting few days at the Bridge.
Media will be lap this up. Keeper benched for rest of the season and decision made in Summer regarding keeper and manger, but watch the headlines go OTT.
Totally out of order.
Yes Sarri will be gone soon but no matter what you think of your manager (in any line of business not just football) you should never ignore an instruction.
Ps Should Kepa have been sent off?
Chelsea's squad is rotten to the core, Sarri should resign tonight because it's clear as day some of the players have no respect for him
I think it was just a total lack of communication between the Chelsea staff. Kepa seemed to go down just to try and waste some time.
They have then tried to make the change believing him to be struggling but he seems fine, if there was any doubt over his fitness I;m sure they would have just had to drag him off. I'm sure they also wouldn't have minded having Caballero in goals for the penalties, given he came from Man City.
Any refs on here?
Surely to goodness there must be a rule covering this.
Once the decision has been made it should be binding and the ref enforces the substitution.
I am guessing that the player power talked about in the press regarding Chelsea has publicly manifested itself in this incident.
It really does appear to be toxic at that club.
- Have you EVER seen anything like it!?

Maurizio Sarri tries to substitute Kepa Arrizabalaga for Willy Caballero, but Kepa refuses to come off and Sarri is absolutely FURIOUS! pic.twitter.com/Q81v6ry3Kk
Wow never seen anything like that before
Who was Chelsea captain? He's got to be over there telling Kepa to get off surely?
He's bonkers I thought one of the Chelsea player's had to be restrained from getting to him.
Sarri's properly played it down in his press conference
Sarri has backed down, which is not a good look. Apparently it was a small misunderstanding.
