Arsenal goalkeeper, Petr Cech has lauded team-mate, Mesut Ozil’s strike against Newcastle on Saturday in the Premier League, saying it was one that reminds him of Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane’s greatest moments.
Zidane during the 2002 Champions League final against Bayer Leverkusen, after 45 minutes of the game played, smashed home an incredible volley at Hampden to help the Spanish giants to a 2-1 win over the German club.
Cech believes that Ozil’s goal was the only one of the weekend’s game that was a similar type of effort to that of Zidane.
The former Chelsea shot-stopper, who is closing in on his 200th Premier League cleansheet and wants to reach the milestone against Liverpool on Friday, told the club’s official website: “It was a fantastic goal.”
“It made me think of the Zidane goal in the Champions League final in Glasgow against Leverkusen.
“The ball went the other way but the technique was a moment of brilliance which literally won the game. He had a fantastic game,” Cech said.
