Heroes when saving a dangerous shot on their goal and 'villains' when making a mistake and allowing a goal. That's how radical the labels for goalkeepers can be. This Tuesday, Petr Cech experienced it once again, as shown in a video on YouTube.
The Czech goalkeeper was the protagonist of an action that ended in a goal against Arsenal in the match against Swansea for matchday 25 of the Premier League. As seen in different videos on YouTube, the play was supposed to end with a clearance from Cech, but he failed in his attempt.
Around the 61st minute at Liberty Stadium, Arsenal had a throw-in in their favor. Monreal played with Mustafi, who passed the ball to Petr Cech. The former Chelsea goalkeeper tried to clear the ball away from his goal, but miscalculated and gave it to an opponent. Jordan Ayew didn't miss the opportunity and scored, as seen on YouTube. It was the partial 2-1 for the Welsh team.
The 'Gunners' suffered another defeat
Arsenal suffered another blow, this time in their visit to Wales against a Swansea team that is fighting to avoid relegation, despite the debut of Armenian Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who arrived at Emirates Stadium as part of the deal that sent Chilean Alexis Sánchez to Manchester United.
The game turned in favor of the 'Gunners' when Spanish player Nacho Monreal opened the scoring shortly after the first half-hour of play (33), but the 'Swans' turned the scoreline with a brace from Sam Clucas (34 and 86) and another goal from Ghanaian Jordan Ayew (61).
