Ian Wright brands Virgil van Dijk 'horrible' for what he did against Chelsea
Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalga was on the receiving end of a 'horrible' glare from Virgil van Dijk after the Liverpool centreback converted his spot-kick at Wembley on Sunday.
With the sides unable to be separated after 120 minutes of tense action, the game had to be settled with a shoot-out and Chelsea took the opportunity to bring on penalty specialist Kepa shortly before the end of extra time.
But when the Spaniard purposely stood to one side of his goal to face Liverpool 's third attempt, taker Van Dijk smashed the ball into the same corner he was covering before delivering a menacing glare at his opponent before strolling off.
Speaking on his podcast 'Wrighty's House', for Arsenal and England striker Wright joked: "I saw stuff in the Carabao Cup that was pure crazy.
"With the Virgil penalty - to see Arrizabalga standing in the corner and Virgil still put it in that corner - and then it's the way that Virgil looked at him afterwards.
"He gave him such a look of disdain, it was horrible. Virgil's horrible!"

Jorginho confirms what Mohamed Salah told him before Chelsea penalty in Liverpool shootout
Chelsea midfielder Jorginho has revealed exactly what Mohamed Salah said to him before the Italian stepped up to take his spot kick in Sunday's Carabao Cup Final penalty shoot-out.
Egyptian star Salah had just converted his own effort from 12 yards when he passed Jorginho on his way back to the halfway line and could be seen mouthing something to his opponent.
And in a post from Sky Italia that was shared on his Instagram page, the Italian international has revealed what was said.
Salah cheekily muttered to Jorginho: "Don't jump," referring to his opponent's trademark penalty-taking style.
Despite the Kop hero's apparent mind games, Jorginho did perform his pre-penalty jump and succeeded in sending Caoimhin Kelleher the wrong way, tying the shoot-out at 5-5.
