It really was a day, and perhaps a Premier League season to forget a Arsenal fell 12 points behind leaders Chelsea with a 3-1 loss.

The Gunners never really hit fifth gear following an early Blues opener, which saw the likes of Alexis and Ozil drop their heads for the majority of the game.
Arsene Wenger was once again criticised for his team selection, which was limited due to injuries facing Aaron Ramsey and Lucas Perez, meaning he was forced into a makeshift midfield.
However, whilst all of the attention seemed to be on those failing to get Arsenal up the pitch, further reflection of the game has seen supporters point the finger at a certain veteran.
Yes, it was former Chelsea goalkeeper, Petr Cech, who was on the back end of abuse following three massive mistakes to gift his old side a comfortable win.
Twitter didn’t hold back, and here’s some of the best reaction:
Petr Cech is a fraud. Protected for years by a good Chelsea defence and system. Average since coming here.

Cech won’t get criticism but he could’ve done more for all 3 goals. Constantly costing us points.

Petr Cech’s woeful form this season is purest evidence of the difference between us & the top. He never would’ve gotten away with it at CFC

“Peter Cech is worth at least 10 points a season.”
This statement is so true, worth 10 points to everyone else.

Sorry but if Szczesny or Ospina played like Cech has this season, and made the same mistakes, everyone would want them dropped or sold

I’ve been hating Cech for nearly a year now. As have many others. If you still think he’s good then sorry, but you’re fucking dumb.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH – BIN CECH AND BRING BACK SZCZESNY

Cech assist for Fabregas. 3-0. The most Arsenal thing in history.

I did more to stop that goal than Petr Cech

Cech is worse than Mignolet. Migs does a lot more right and he isn’t even looking at the ball half the time.

Cech just watched it go in LOOOOOOL man still thinks he plays for Chelsea. #JusticeForOspina
