Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech has hailed the defensive partnership of Laurent Koscielny and Shkodran Mustafi.

Cech admits he has been hugely impressed by the pair.

“We found a quick understanding when Shkodran came into the team," Cech told Arsenal's official website.

“When he played against Southampton in his first game, you get to know the player and his habits, how he plays the game.

“Him and Laurent are very intelligent players and have found a way to play together very quickly and you can see that experience.

“They are similar types of players, although they play a different way, but they understand exactly what the other's game is and they complement each other very well."
