Sagna Defends Kepa: Blames Arsenal’s Second-Half Collapse for Carabao Cup Exit
Former Arsenal and Man City defender Bacary Sagna insists Kepa Arrizabalaga shouldn’t take all the blame for Arsenal’s 2-0 loss in the Carabao Cup final. He stood by Mikel Arteta’s decision to start the Spanish goalkeeper despite the error that led to City’s opener. Sagna singled out Arsenal’s second-half performance as the real issue. He argued the Gunners sat back too much, ceding possession and allowing Manchester City to dictate play and apply relentless pressure. He also flagged an early chance for Kai Havertz as a potential turning point. Had Arsenal scored at that moment, Sagna believes the final outcome might have been very different.
