Chelsea reach Europa League final after Kepa shines in shoot-out drama

Chelsea’s Kepa Arrizabalaga, Davide Zappacosta, Gonzalo Higuain and Emerson Palmieri celebrate winning the penalty shootout against Eintracht Frankfurt at Stamford Bridge in London May 9, 2019. — Reuters pic

Chelsea took the lead in the semi-final second leg thanks to Ruben Loftus-Cheek’s first half strike at Stamford Bridge. It was a sweet moment of redemption for Kepa after he was widely criticised for his astonishing mutiny in the League Cup final against Manchester City when he refused to be substituted before the Blues lost on penalties.

Former Napoli boss Sarri this week claimed Chelsea “deserve” to win a trophy this season and the Italian is now one victory away from the first major prize of his managerial career. But Chelsea couldn’t turn their first half superiority into further goals and a fatal loss of concentration allowed Frankfurt to equalise in the 49th minute.
