After the lost League Cup final, London's "Chelsea" quickly bounced back. On Wednesday, Maurizio Sarri's team defeated "Tottenham" with a score of 2:0 and strengthened their chances to fight for a place in the top four.
In Wednesday's match, the main "Chelsea" goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, who refused to be substituted in the League Cup final against "Manchester City", was left out by the coach's decision.
The club fined the Spaniard for this, but M. Sarri confirmed that Kepa remains the team's first choice and will return to the pitch in the near future.
The Italian also admitted that the decision to use Willy Caballero's services in the match with "Chelsea" was correct.
"I think it was a good decision. Kepa made a huge mistake and was punished by the club. Now he has settled things with the team. It's time to put an end to the speculations on this matter - Kepa will return to the pitch in the near future.
"I don't know if he will be in the starting lineup in the next matches, but he will definitely return in one of the upcoming matches," - said M. Sarri.
"Chelsea" coach also acknowledged that this victory could be a turning point for his team, but it is crucial to maintain stability in the game and results.
"We hope this will be a turning point, but the most important thing is to maintain stability in the team's game and results. As you know, it is not easy to do this in this championship.
"Perhaps this result will allow us to involve the "Tottenham" team in the fight. Although there is a 7-point difference, we still have matches in reserve," - said the Italian.
