Potter says Kepa Arrizabalaga was unlucky

Chelsea manager Graham Potter has said that goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga was unlucky to concede the equaliser against Manchester United.



The Blues played out a 1-1 draw against the Red Devils in the Premier League today and they could have quite easily won the match.

Jorginho put the club ahead from the penalty spot in the 87th minute, but Casemiro levelled the proceedings for United in stoppage time.

The Brazilian leaped high from a Luke Shaw cross to pull United level in the 94th minute. Arrizabalaga tried his best to stop the effort.

The Spaniard's fingertip save was not sufficient as the ball crossed the line off the cross bar. Potter sympathised with him afterwards.

Speaking after the game, he said: "Kepa was a bit unlucky but it's only just gone in and the first goal we have conceded in a while but we have to take the positives."

Despite the draw, Chelsea remain fourth in the standings but their gap to league leaders Arsenal could extend to nine points tomorrow.
