Petr Cech delighted with Arsenal response after nightmare start

Petr Cech says that he and Arsenal should be proud of themselves for the way in which they bounced back from losing to West Ham in the first game of the season.

Petr Cech has revealed that he is proud of the way he and Arsenal have responded to their West Ham United defeat on the opening weekend of the Premier League season.

The Czech goalkeeper endured a nightmare debut for the Gunners following a £10m switch from Chelsea, with both of his perceived errors helping United to a shock 2-0 victory at the Emirates Stadium.

Nevertheless, Arsenal have won seven points from a possible nine since, with Cech starring in the 0-0 draw against Liverpool, and the 33-year-old is happy with the way in which they have bounced back.

"I think if you spill the milk or coffee in your kitchen you don't just let it lay there, you wipe it off and clean it," he told the club's official website. "It is the same thing when you do something wrong, you just take the first opportunity to make this right and correct it.

"This is the only way. When you know the world well, you are prepared and if a bad game happens it is probably part of football and you need to understand that.

"I had a great pre-season, I was feeling well going into the game, excited to play my first home game. Then obviously the game did not go according to plan for everybody, particularly me. But we recovered from there and it was good to see the reaction of the team because it was a big blow as we had wanted to start on a winning note."

Arsene Wenger's side host Stoke City on Saturday afternoon.
