Petr Cech believes luck is playing a part in lack of clean sheets

Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech believes luck has played a part in the Gunners’ lack of clean sheets this season.

The Czech stopper retired after last summer’s European Championship to focus on his club duties at the Emirates Stadium.

Cech kept 16 clean sheets last term to win the Premier League’s Golden Glove award, but has kept just six in 20 games this season.

He believes that while the defence has been impressive, they have been unlucky – especially when giving away penalties.

“So far it’s a kind of a different campaign because I think I have been doing well but if you take clean sheets, we had a run of games where we conceded at least one goal,” Cech told Arsenal’s official website.

“The most important thing is obviously that the team wins but it is good sometimes to have a clean sheet and that solid base at the back.
“We have conceded a number of penalties in games where the penalty was the only goal [we conceded], so sometimes you have these runs which are a bit unlucky against you but you would like to do something extra and find one extra save.

“Overall it is a season in which I am playing at the level I need to be at.

“You want to improve every game and keep the standard up the whole time – you don’t want to have a period where you are not doing so well or you are not where you should be, which hasn’t happened yet so hopefully I can keep like that.”
