Kepa reacts to win vs Aston Villa

Goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga was one of the key players during Chelsea’s win vs Aston Villa over the weekend in the EPL.

Kepa made seven saves during the match, six before the break to help Chelsea win all three points.

The saves were the highest number of stops Kepa has made in a single Premier League game, and two of the seven, to deny Jacob Ramsey and Danny Ings, were world-class, both among the very best he has made in a Chelsea shirt.

‘I’m really happy because of the win and because I helped the team,’ said Kepa.

‘It’s a really tough stadium to play. We started the game very well, we controlled, we scored first, but after scoring we dropped a little bit our performance with the ball. We lost the control and we struggled in the last 20, 25 minutes of the first half.

‘In half-time we changed a little bit and in the second half we managed the game much better. After a big win away in the Champions League, it’s not easy coming again to the Premier League, be focused, go away, travel.

‘We are winning at big stadiums. Winning here is not easy, winning in Milan is not easy. We are getting the manager’s ideas better and better.’
