Petr Cech's Arsenal Penalty Record Is Absolutely Shocking

Petr Cech's Arsenal Penalty Record Is Absolutely Shocking

Petr Cech's Arsenal penalty record is so bad, fans don't think he's ever going to save one for the club.

Since joining the club from Chelsea, the Czech Republic international is yet to save a penalty for the Gunners - with Eden Hazard the latest to score a spot-kick past him in last night's thrilling 2-2 draw at the Emirates.

Hazard was the second player in a matter of days to convert a penalty past his former teammate Cech, after Jay Rodriguez fired home to claim a point for West Brom on New Year's Eve.

Of course, from a goalkeeper's perspective, penalties are a bit of lottery - but Cech in particular, as good a goalkeeper as he has been, has had great difficulty when it comes to twelve yards.

In fact, his last 15 penalties have all gone past him and he's dived the wrong way on 12 occasions.

Unsurprisingly, there's pure pessimism from Arsenal fans whenever they concede a penalty, like they did last night when Hector Bellerin was deemed to have fouled Hazard, and some of the reactions are hilariously brilliant.

Cech made a series of smart stops in the game last night but penalty-saving is clearly not his thing! Will he ever save one for Arsenal?!
