Goalkeeper Petr Cech has called on his Arsenal teammates to switch on from the opening whistle.

The Gunners conceded within just three minutes of their 1-1 draw with Southampton on Sunday.

The previous week, Manchester United were able to go up by two goals in the early stages of the match.

And Cech is adamant the same outcome was possible on Sunday.

He said: "One thing that is really gutting is that we lost the game against Man United in the first 10 minutes.

"Today we could have been 3-0 down after 10 minutes again, and I think this is something we need to improve because in this league, if you give other teams the advantage in the first five minutes, you make it far more difficult for yourselves.

"Today, we were lucky to get a point, even if we deserved to get one in the end, because we put them under pressure. But we wanted all three."
