Kepa Arrizabalaga saves the day as Chelsea edge past Plymouth in FA Cup

Kepa Arrizabalaga’s penalty heroics helped Chelsea avoid a shoot-out as the Blues edged past Plymouth 2-1 in the FA Cup fourth-round but only after extra-time.

The Spain goalkeeper guessed correctly and then smothered Ryan Hardie’s last-gasp spot-kick, after the Plymouth striker had been felled by Malang Sarr.

Marcos Alonso thought he had settled the tie with a neat finish in extra-time, only for League One Argyle to battle back and force one more opening.

Kepa kept his cool to conjure a fine save however, on a day when Chelsea markedly missed Thomas Tuchel after the Blues head coach tested positive for Covid-19.

Kepa with the safe hands!
