'We've worked really hard... we felt prepared'

Petr Cech was pivotal in our win over Chelsea in Dublin on Wednesday night.

The former Czech Republic international denied Ruben Loftus-Cheek as the penalty shoot-out entered sudden death, as well as keeping out a regular time spot-kick from Alvaro Morata.

On top of that, Cech denied Morata once more in open play, as well as thwarting the best efforts of Callum Hudson-Odoi and Cesc Fabregas.

Here's what Petr had to say after the final whistle:

on his emotions after the penalty shoot-out…
Well, I have to say that first of all I’m glad we came into the penalty shoot-out because we were losing the game until the last minute, so credit to all of us that we managed to dig in and manage to find an equaliser.
