Chelsea may have hammered Arsenal 4-1 in the Europa League final Wednesday night, but Gary Neville continues to "not accept" their goaltender, Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The Spaniard was certainly not to blame for the only goal of the match for Arsenal, but he seemed a little nervous at the beginning of the match in Baku, with a poor punch on a center that almost gave the Gunners their head. .

Alexandre Lacazette also called for a penalty but nothing was rightly given.

However, despite these minor mistakes and the victory of Kepa, the former defender of Manchester United and England, Neville, has been extremely critical of the goalkeeper.

Neville tweeted, "Nothing personal, but I just can not accept a guardian like Kepa, he would make every defense a nervous wreck."

Nothing personal but I just can not accept a guardian like Kepa. He would make every defense a nervous wreck.

Probably the man of the match now! ??♂️

Kepa had a largely positive first season in Chelsea since coming to Athletic Bilbao in the summer for £ 71m.

He has played 54 games in all competitions, conceding 50 goals and keeping 23 draws, including 7 undefeated champions of Europe.

Only Liverpool and Manchester City conceded fewer goals than Chelsea in the Premier League this season, during which Kepa played 36 games out of 38.

Given that he is only 24 years old, Neville's critics could be interpreted as a little harsh, although he admitted that the goalkeeper could change things after his critics at the beginning of the match adding: "Probably the man of the match now!"

The goals of Olivier Giroud, Pedro and a double from Eden Hazard gave Chelsea a comfortable 4-1 win over the Gunners in Baku, despite a brilliant consolation by Alex Iwobi.
