He may be the most expensive goalkeeper in the world, but Kepa Arrizabalaga has just shown he’s value for money with a stunning save against Liverpool star Sadio Mane to maintain Chelsea’s lead.

The young Spaniard got down low to his right to keep out what looked a certain goal from Mane after the Senegal international struck from close range.
