Arteta Defends Kepa's Selection in Cup Final Loss
In the Carabao Cup final held at Wembley on Sunday, Arsenal faced Manchester City, suffering a 2-0 defeat. Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, chose to start Kepa Arrizabalaga instead of David Raya for the match.
Following the game, Arteta was questioned about his decision, to which he responded with defiance, stating he had no regrets and believed it was the right choice. The match saw Arsenal trailing at halftime, with Manchester City scoring their first goal when Arrizabalaga fumbled the ball, allowing Nico O'Reilly to head into an empty net.
City sealed their victory shortly after with a second goal. Despite the loss, Arteta noted that Arsenal was nine points ahead of Manchester City in the Premier League standings and remained in contention for four trophies this season.
