Lollichon hails Chelsea keeper Cech's Wembley wonder save

Chelsea goalkeeper coach Christophe Lollichon has discussed Petr Cech's wonder save during the FA Cup final.

His save that pushed Liverpool striker Andy Carroll's header onto the bar with just centimetres to spare has even been described by some as the greatest in an FA Cup Final.

"It was one of Petr's most spectacular," Lollichon told chelseafc.com, "but I like most the movement he did when the ball was crossed. He didn't stay still and surprised, and this was fundamental to have the chance to save. Then it was a strong header but all of Petr's arm from the shoulder until the tip of the fingers didn't move, it was like wood. And every day we work on this."
