Ex-Arsenal defender Keown praises Kalas on Chelsea debut

Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown was full of praise for Tomas Kalas on his Chelsea debut.

Kalas impressed in victory at Liverpool.

Keown told the Daily Mail: "Defending the Kop end at Anfield is one of the hardest jobs in football for an away side. To throw a young defender into that situation was a bold move but Tomas Kalas responded with a superb display.

"He was committed and able to seek out danger quickly. It was a huge risk but Kalas repaid Mourinho's faith."
