Chelsea vs Villarreal LIVE: Uefa Super Cup result, final score and reaction after penalty shootout
Relive all the action as last season’s Champions League and Europa League winners met in Belfast
Kepa Arrizabalaga came off the bench to save two penalties and earn Chelsea Super League success in a shoot-out victory over Villarreal.
Thomas Tuchel made the call to replace Edouard Mendy in the closing stages of the 1-1 draw - with Kepa then providing the heroics.
Kai Havertz missed the first spot-kick but after that Chelsea were perfect while both Aissa Mandi and Raul Albiol both saw their penalties saved as Chelsea won the shoot-out 6-5.
Hakim Ziyech shone from the start and opened the scoring only to injure his shoulder before half-time to give Thomas Tuchel a worry ahead of the Premier League opener against Crystal Palace on Saturday. Relive all the action live below:

Lovely. Cesar Azpilicueta fires it right into the corner. Asenjo dives the right way but can’t reach the shot. All square.
