Chelsea manager Lampard pleased for Kepa: He's shown great character

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard was happy for Kepa Arrizabalaga after his re-introduction to the first-team.

The Spaniard kept a clean sheet in Tuesday's 2-0 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup fifth-round, in what was his first appearance in six matches.

Lampard said: "I was really pleased for Kepa. It's not easy because all players want to play and a goalkeeper gets scrutinised more than any other position and he made some good saves.

"He's shown good character and he played well."
