Social Media Rips Into Chelsea Keeper After His Refusal To Substitution

In what was news that shocked the football world, Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga refused to be substituted in their Carabao Cup final loss to Manchester City this past weekend. Did you see how social media reacted to the incident?
