Petr Cech, Arsenal Beat Chelsea After Penalties in 2018 ICC Action

Petr Cech saved from Ruben Loftus-Cheek before Alex Iwobi scored as Arsenal beat Chelsea 6-5 on penalties in a preseason friendly at Dublin's Aviva Stadium on Wednesday night.

Spot-kicks were needed following a 1-1 draw in normal time when Alexandre Lacazette scored an equaliser in the 93rd minute to cancel out Antonio Rudiger's fifth-minute header. Cech had also saved a penalty from Alvaro Morata in regulation on a difficult night for the misfiring striker.

Meanwhile, 17-year-old Callum Hudson-Odoi caught the eye after tormenting an unconvincing Arsenal defence.
