Arsene Wenger has claimed Petr Cech had a massive hand in helping the Gunners win their second successive Community Shield, stating that he may have unnerved the Chelsea players.
Arsenal lifted their first piece of silverware this season after beating the Blues 1-0 at Wembley, courtesy of a fine Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain strike, ending a hoodoo Wenger has faced with Jose Mourinho for a number of years.
CECH UNNERVING
The occasion also marked the debut of Cech, who moved to the Emirates Stadium after a controversial transfer from Stamford Bridge earlier this summer.
The 33-year-old kept a clean sheet at the weekend that gifted the Gunners a long-awaited victory over their west London rivals, and Wenger has said he believes the Czech international’s presence might have been a big factor.
"He did well. Maybe he had an influence on the Chelsea players as well because they felt that to score against him they had to score the perfect goal," Wenger said post-match, as per Arsenal's official website.
