Chelsea news live: Maurizio Sarri press conference - Kepa fallout, Raheem Sterling seals penalty shootout win

Chelsea news live: Maurizio Sarri press conference

Raheem Sterling was Manchester City's saviour as his winning spot-kick helped Pep Guardiola's side narrowly beat Chelsea 4-3 on penalties in the EFL Cup final at Wembley.

After what was a cagey game that finished goalless after normal time and then extra-time, Pep Guardiola's side converted four of their five penalties as David Luiz hit the post for the Blues and Jorginho saw his effort saved by Ederson.

But the story of the game unfolded in the closing stages of extra time where Blues goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga refused to come off when Maurizio Sarri attempted to replace him with Willy Caballero.

The incident is likely to dominate post-match press conferences, with Sarri absolutely furious with Kepa's decision. We will be bringing you every word along with Guardiola's reaction to winning the cup for a second year running.

Follow all the latest reaction from Sarri with Standard Sport!
