3 things that went right for Arsenal against Watford

#1 Cech finally achieves his landmark

Cech's desperate wait for a clean sheet is over

Petr Cech's long-awaited run for a clean sheet came to an end as he recorded his 200th clean sheet, becoming the first goalkeeper in the Premier League to reach this historic landmark. This was the 38th clean sheet in his Arsenal career whereas the other 162 clean sheets were for former club, Chelsea.

It was Cech's first shutout since Matchday 18 against Newcastle on December 16, a streak that went for 85 days, the longest drought he has had in his career.

However, his record was under threat when his side conceded a penalty right after scoring at the other end. Troy Deeney stepped up to take the spot-kick and went straight down the middle which was saved comfortably by the 35-year-old Cech as the shot lacked power. It was the shot stopper's first penalty save for the Gunners in his two and a half year stint thus far.

It has been a very tough three months for the Czech Republic international, as there has been a dip in his form and has committed several errors that have led to the opposition scoring on different occasions. He will be relieved, at last, having secured his much-deserved feat.
