Watch: Chelsea ace’s incredible touch of class was captured in the London Stadium tunnel before West Ham United clash.

West Ham and Chelsea played out a 1-1 draw yesterday afternoon in a result that didn’t do much good for either club at both ends of the Premier League table.

However, David Moyes and his players would have taken the point in the end for sure. Chelsea could have been 3-0 up inside the first 20 minutes or so yesterday.

It is the result that matters though, and we move on to the next one – Tottenham away next weekend.

The performance wasn’t great yesterday but there was something that happened before the game that would have put a smile on the Hammers fans’ faces…

Signed for £71 million from Athletic Bilbao back in the summer of 2018 (The Sun), the 28-year-old has never hit the heights that were expected of him at Stamford Bridge on the pitch.

However, he is clearly a very respectful young man off the pitch.

Kepa was caught on video in the London Stadium tunnel before yesterday’s West Ham vs Chelsea clash:

That’s great to see in a day and age when so many footballers are captured doing stupid things on camera.

Also, so many old traditions seem to have been forgotten now.

Hats off to you Kepa, that really was a touch of class.
