Redknapp: Starting Kepa 'a monumental error' after cup final howler

Mikel Arteta's decision to keep faith with second-choice goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga in the Carabao Cup final "backfired big time", says Jamie Redknapp, after his howler handed Man City the opener in Arsenal's 2-0 defeat at Wembley.

Kepa kept his place for Sunday's showpiece ahead of David Raya, after featuring in every round of the Gunners' run to the final, but his inclusion was questioned ahead of the game and came back to bite the Arsenal boss when he failed to take Rayan Cherki's cross, deflecting it straight into the path of Nico O'Reilly after an hour.
