There’s no getting around the fact that Arsenal’s Petr Cech had a bit of a shocker on his Premier League debut for the side versus West Ham.

Worry not, Gunners fans…

There is a ready-made replacement waiting in the wings, and his name is Carl Jenkinson.

The 23-year-old right-back was forced to go in goal for West Ham against Leicester, after Adrian was sent off in stoppage time.


Despite the Hammers losing 2-1, Jenkinson did not concede a goal in his one minute between the sticks.

And many fans across Twitter pointed to the fact that Jenkinson has more clean sheets in goal than Cech this season…
