Having missed the decisive penalty in the League Cup final shoot-out defeat to Liverpool, Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga took to social media to share a message for his fans and also thanked them for their support. With the match ending as a 0-0 draw, Liverpool edged past Chelsea in an 11-10 penalty shoot-out victory. Taking to Twitter, the Spanish custodian wrote, "To fall and rise. Disappointed after big effort during the tournament. We keep working. Thanks @chelseafc family for your support."
Kepa's effort was the only miss in the shoot-out which also saw Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher score his penalty.
