Temas: Petr Cech, Mesut Ozil, Arsenal, Watford, English Premier League
Mesut surpassed Cantona’s record while Petr’s first penalty save for the Gunners helped him make history.

Despite being one of the greatest goalkeepers in the Premier League era, Petr Cech has been slammed by Arsenal fans non-stop. One big reason for this is his struggles with stop penalties in a Gunners jersey.

However, that awful run finally came to an end in Sunday’s clash with Watford. The north London side, having lost their last three league games, welcomed the Hornets to the Emirates in an attempt to return to winning ways.

With Wenger’s men already 2-0 up, the away side was awarded a 62nd-minute spot kick. Troy Deeney stepped up to convert the penalty but saw his effort saved by the veteran custodian.

Astonishingly, this was the Czech ace’s first penalty save since February 2011. However, the fact that he spent the majority of his last season at Chelsea on the bench contributed to that awful run.

His save was all the more special as it helped Cech register an impressive feat. With the game ending 3-0 thanks to the 35-year-old, he became the first Premier League shot-stopper to record 200 clean sheets.

The victory was also a special one for Mesut Ozil. The German set up Mustafi’s opening goal, becoming the quickest player in English top-flight history to reach 50 assists. The World Cup winner needed only 141 games, surpassing Eric Cantona’s previous record of 143 matches.

These two records did not go unnoticed on Twitter. Check out the best tweets below.
