Brighton –
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard is pleased with Kepa Arrizabalaga’s performance at Brighton & Hove Albion. Although, he is considered to have contributed to The Seagulls’ goals.
Chelsea opened the Premier League this season with a 3-1 win over Brighton at Amex Stadium, early Tuesday morning (9/15/2020) WIB. The Blues’ three winning goals in this match came from penalties from Jorginho, Reece James and Kurt Zouma.
Meanwhile, Brighton responded with goals from Leandro Trossard. Kepa was back in the spotlight when Trossard’s goal occurred.
He is considered to be not alert enough to block the Belgian player’s far shot. This gave rise to the idea that Chelsea needed a new goalkeeper.
The reason is that Kepa’s performance has not been convincing since last season. Rennes goalkeeper Eduard Mendy was reportedly included in Chelsea’s shot.
Lampard confirmed that it was possible for Chelsea to bring in a new goalkeeper. Even so, he said that until now he still fully trusted Kepa.

“I’m very happy with Kepa. As for the shot, I’m not sure I could have anticipated it better. But I see he has a little more confidence in the game,” Lampard said of Kepa. Sportskeeda.
“I’m happy with him, Kepa is here, he’s our guard and I’m happy with him. If we put competition in his position, it’s pure competition.”
“That is the nature of Chelsea. It applies to the entire squad, so we’ll see,” he said of the possibility of Chelsea signing a new goalkeeper.
