A CECH FOR 200

Watford beat them in October, and it gave Wenger his first win in four league games. The Arsenal boss said: “His situation shows how football is: in one week he went from hell to heaven. Is he one of the best of the Premier League era? I think yes. Look at what he’s achieved. He had to wait a while to save a penalty. It’s quite fortunate that it’s against Deeney.”

Wenger admitted he was concerned about the empty seats in the Emirates but believes Arsenal have turned a corner with two victories in three days.

“I worry because I want our fans to be behind the team and happy but after what happened last week it’s understandable,” said Wenger. Cech (above) had to wait 12 games to clock up his 200th clean sheet in the Prem. He said: “It is an unbelievable personal milestone. The first 18 games with nine clean sheets got me to 199 but the last 11 games have been frustrating.”
