It was an "extraordinary" end to the Carabao Cup final as Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga refused to be substituted in the final minutes of the game against Manchester City. With time running out in extra time and penalties looming, the Spanish goalkeeper's number went up on the board to be substituted, with Willy Caballero set to replace the 24-year-old, who appeared to be struggling with cramp. However, Arrizabalaga insisted that he was alright to continue and refused to leave the field, with an exchange then occurring between him and Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri. Several pundits have had their say on the incident, with many being critical of the 24-year-old, amid the pressure on the Chelsea boss. And Match of the Day host Gary Lineker described the whole situation as "bonkers", summing up the scenes in four posts on social media as the drama unfolded at Wembley. His tweets, which can be seen below, perfectly described the drama in the closing stages of the final, from his first tweet to the last, which came after the penalty shootout.
