Arsenal fans love Petr Cech's classy gesture after Cardiff victory

Petr Cech has had a shaky start to the season, having struggled to adapt to new boss Unai Emery's style of play.

Emery's faith in the Czech international between the sticks, however, bore fruit as Cech has made record high saves since the start of the Premier League. Prior to the game at Cardiff, the goalkeeper kept out a record high of 18 of 24 shots on his goal.

Arsenal edged out Cardiff city 2-3 as Alexandre Lacazette's 81st-minute winner saw Unai Emery attain his first away victory as head coach.

The Gunners scored the first goal at the 12th minute as Shkodran Mustafi headed from an Aaron Ramsey corner, past Cardiff goalkeeper Neil Etheridge, to give Arsenal the lead. The hosts equalized when Victor Camarasa fired one home for Cardiff.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang put Arsenal back ahead after half-time from outside the box but Cardiff quickly caught up courtesy of a Danny Ward header.

While Petr Cech still appeared shaky in his performance, what won the fans' hearts was his class gesture after the game.

The Arsenal keeper first gave his gloves away to young supporters in the crowd before asking Lucas Torreira And Mattéo Guendouzi to do the same.

In a video captured after the game, Cech was seen leaving the away section but not before asking newbies Torreira and Guendouzi to go into the away end at Cardiff City Stadium and give their shirts away. The midfield duo then leapt into the crowd and handed over their match shirts to fans.

The gesture did not go unnoticed by fans and they addressed it on social media:

Cech gave his gloves 🧤 to a kid 1st then when walking away see the other two was going to do that to shirts, Cech made sure it was to be given to kids. Not thrown or a adult

What a gentleman. He's seen Mou's golden age and Wenger's dusk, so many other top managers, and won so much. This experience and his values will make him an exceptional manager someday.
