Arsenal manager Unai Emery disclose that he was amazed by the criticism placed on Petr Cech in recent weeks as the Arsenal goalkeeper was given man of the match in Sunday’s Premier League victory against Everton.
Magnificent strikes from Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre- Emerick Aubameyang were enough for the Gunners to get a 2-0 victory , their fourth in a row in the league and a first clean sheet of the Emery era.
Everton will feel hard done by to leave the Emirates Stadium with nothing to show for a decent performance and not only because Aubameyang goal came from an offside position.
Everton dominated the first half, with Cech denying the likes of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Lucas Digne and Richarlison,who looked sharp on his return from suspension.
Cech, 36, has captained Arsenal in all of their Premier League games since Emery took charge but has not been without his critics as he adapts to playing the ball out from the back. He has kept summer signing Bernd Leno on the bench, except for Thursday’s Europa League win over Vorskla Poltava and Emery is glad with his goalkeeping options.
Emery stated after the win : I am a little amaze because there have been a lot of questions over Cech, Emery said after the win. In pre-season and also in the first matches with us, he’s played with good performances. Bernd Leno will also improve with us and learn about this competition here.
