Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech had a night to forget at the Liberty Stadium as he dropped a clanger in the Gunners’ 3-1 defeat.

The veteran received flak from frustrated supporters – with their hopes of earning a top four place suffering another blow.

Cech issued an apology on Twitter after the game, vowing to improve.

Cech received a response from former Real Madrid stopper Iker Casillas, who offered his support from one goalkeeper to another.

Cech has not had quite the desired impact since his 2015 arrival from Chelsea.

He arrived billed as the missing piece in their title bid, only for Arsenal to fall short to Leicester, and they have since fallen further off the pace.

The 35-year-old is under contract at Arsenal until 2019. Whether he will earn an extension beyond that is very uncertain at this point.
