The Czech Republic international broke the record for the most clean sheets in the top flight after the Gunners recorded a 2-0 victory against Bournemouth on Monday.
An impressive display at the Emirates Stadium saw the 33-year-old collect his 170th clean sheet in 352 League appearances, surpassing the record set by David James of 169.

“He’s quite a remarkable man and. He’s very focussed a little bit obsessive and wants to be the best at everything, which is a good quality to have.
“His record is nearly a clean sheet every two games, which is quite remarkable considering he’s been doing that now for 11 years in the Premier League.
“He’s quite a remarkable man and well worthy of holding the record.”
