On Sunday evening, the final of the English League Cup was played, where London's "Chelsea" faced off against "Manchester City." After more than 120 minutes of battle, "Man City" footballers, who scored penalties more accurately, triumphed for the second consecutive year in this tournament. The last minutes of the match caused a lot of commotion when Maurizio Sarri was ready to make a change in the goalkeeper position. Willy Caballero was supposed to replace Kepa, who seemed to have injured his leg, but the Spaniard did not obey this decision and stayed on the field. M. Sarri almost left the "Wembley" stadium after the goalkeeper's gesture, but later the emotions subsided and the Spaniard stood between the posts in the penalty shootout. During the regular time, the teams did not create many opportunities. Sergio Aguero scored a goal, but it was disallowed after VAR review due to offside. The extra time also saw a quite dull football. During this time, "Man City" had a chance to score the winning goal, but the "Blues" were saved by the heroes in defense, particularly Cesar Azpilicueta. After extra time, the teams prepared for the penalty shootout. Kepa, who refused substitution, felt a huge responsibility, but "Chelsea" was mostly disappointed by the players who missed penalties - Jorginho and David Luiz's shots were inaccurate. Kepa saved Leroy Sane's shot, but the other four were accurate, and "Man City" celebrated a dramatic victory. Result: "Chelsea" 0 - 0 "Man City" (Penalty shootout: 3-4) Sarri and Kepa incident:

This could very well be Kepa's last game at Chelsea or the start of a legendary keeper if he wins this for Chelsea, although it doesn't look like Sarri would forgive him either way. Childish act to say the least. pic.twitter.com/RBAHx4OeNy
