Arteta Defends Choosing Kepa After Final Error: ‘I’d Do It Again’
Mikel Arteta stands by his decision to start Kepa Arrizabalaga in the EFL Cup final despite the goalkeeper’s costly mistake at Wembley. The Arsenal head coach insists he wouldn’t hesitate to make the same call again. Arsenal suffered a 2-0 defeat to Manchester City, with Nico O’Reilly netting both goals. Arteta praised his side’s bright first-half showing but admitted they lost momentum after the break. The manager argued that Kepa has been “phenomenal” all season and deserved his spot. His defence has sparked intense debate among frustrated supporters on social media.
