Gary Lineker labelled Kepa Arrizabalaga the "pound shop Emi Martinez" after the Chelsea goalkeeper was left with egg on his face in Sunday's FA Cup clash against Manchester City.
Kepa, 28, started the third-round tie at the Etihad Stadium and conceded three goals in the first half, with Riyad Mahrez, Julian Alvarez and Phil Foden finding the back of the net. Alvarez's goal came from the penalty spot on the half-hour mark after Kai Havertz clumsily handled the ball in the area.
As the Argentina forward, 22, prepared to shoot from 12 yards, Kepa approached him, crouched and uttered a few words in a bid to unnerve his opponent. This gamesmanship had no effect on Alvarez, who was making his first City start since winning the World Cup and fired beyond the Spanish 'keeper into the bottom corner.
