Arsenal boss Emery: Cech nerves normal

Arsenal boss Unai Emery insists he was satisfied with Petr Cech's performance for their Carabao Cup win over Blackpool.

Cech looked nervous at times during the 2-1 triumph.

And Emery admitted: "It's normal, the centre backs when they are with the ball and have pressure from the opposition, they need to play with the goalkeeper and continue building up our attacking moments.

"I want to give them confidence, give them calm and it's true, today after this mistake the supporters also when the ball was arriving to him, I think it's better in my opinion to continue giving him and the other players also, confidence to continue our style and our ideas in the game. He has experience and also he can do good and we are going to continue with this idea with the security and with the confidence."
