Manchester City star Vincent Kompany admitted he was stunned to see Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga refuse to be substituted during an astonishing League Cup final row with Blues boss Maurizio Sarri.

The Spaniard refused to be substituted in the closing stages of Sunday’s game at Wembley, despite twice going down with cramp.

Here is the full video.

Sarri wanted to bring on substitute goalkeeper Willy Caballero but was left seething when Kepa refused to leave the field.

Kompany, who came on at half-time for the injured Aymeric Laporte, said he had never seen anything like it.

“Of course I’ve never seen it. I wish I could do it every now and then when I don’t want to get subbed off,” Kompany said.

Kompany said he was glad not to face Caballero, who helped City win the 2016 League Cup final by saving three penalties in a shoot-out against Liverpool.

“I know how good Willy is on penalties, when we won this competition against Liverpool he was tremendous, he won the penalties for us and it would be another mind game to be played,” Kompany said.

“It didn’t happen and the confidence was there to score the penalties.”

Former Chelsea captain John Terry, watching the match as a pundit for Sky Sports, called on Sarri to resolve the situation immediately.

“It will be interesting to see if Kepa plays the next game. If I was in the dressing room I would expect the manager to come in and deal with it straight away,” Terry said.
