Chelsea hero Glenn Hoddle heaped praise on Kepa Arrizabalaga after his Super Cup performance.

Kepa received high praise from Hoddle for his stunning double save in the second half of the final against Liverpool.

The Spaniard first got down low to his left to palm away Mohamed Salah's deflected effort before rising to his feet to push Virgil Van Dijk's follow up on to the bar.

With only 15 minutes remaining on the clock, Kepa's double save came at a vital time and helped to take the match into extra-time.

"I think both are incredible. The first one is a deflection as well, that's a great save for me," Hoddle told BT Sport.

"Any goalie will tell you that's the hardest place to make a save and the second one is in the air and that's reactions. His feet are so quick to get back across, for me the first one is incredible."

Liverpool eventually won the Super Cup on penalties after the scores finished 2-2.
