Social media reacts to Kepa Arrizabalaga's Chelsea heroics

Fans on social media have been sent into a frenzy following Kepa Arrizabalaga's heroics for Chelsea during their 1-0 victory over Al-Hilal.

The Blues faced the Saudi side in their Club World Cup semi-final game, where Arrizabalaga put in an inspired performance to ensure his side qualified for the upcoming final.

Fans were quick to turn to social media and praise the Spaniard, with some fans questioning whether Edouard Mendy would retake his first-team place with Arrizabalaga being in fine form.

Arrizabalaga drew an immense amount of praise on Twitter, with users claiming that the Blues would not have won the match without the 27-year-old.

Clearly according to the Chelsea fanbase, Mendy might have to prove his worth again if he is to take the starting goalkeeper position. 

 Romelu Lukaku's first half strike from close range was enough to secure a 1-0 victory, which the Blues rarely looked like losing, as they set up a final against Brazilian side Palmeiras on Saturday. 

With Thomas Tuchel unavailable due to a positive Covid test, assistant Zsolt Low took charge and oversaw a dominant display from the Champions League winners, even if his side failed to convert a number of chances.
