He said: “I’ve seen players disgruntled before and throw a boot or their shirt down when they’re taken off but players know the rules. They abide by the decision and if you’re going to have a row you have it in the dressing room. That is unprecedented, what we have seen today and Kepa has to go. The players didn’t want anything to do with it – they should have dragged him off. In the heat of the moment there, in virtually any other team, the players would have dragged him off.

“What does that tell us about Chelsea at the moment? It’s not just Kepa who has disrespected Sarri there, it’s the Chelsea players. Kepa should never play for Chelsea again. that should be his last performance in a Chelsea shirt. He’s a disgrace. I’ve never seen anything like it. If I was Sarri I would walk. You cannot be undermined. Why weren’t the players dragging Kepa off anyway? Kepa should be sacked, not Sarri.”
