Goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga came off the bench to make two shootout saves as Champions League winners Chelsea beat Spain’s Villarreal 6-5 on penalties to add the Uefa Super Cup to their trophy collection on Wednesday.
Extra time had ended 1-1 at Belfast’s Windsor Park stadium, with Chelsea bringing on Kepa for Edouard Mendy in the final seconds in what turned out to be the game’s tactical masterstroke.
Mendy was one of the first to congratulate his teammate, with Chelsea lifting the trophy for a second time.
