Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink was full of praise for goalkeeper Petr Cech after his spotkick save in yesterday's 1-0 victory over West Ham.

"It's not a confidence boost for him (Cech)," Hiddink said. "He showed against Everton this week, he made some good saves there too.

"We don't deny that he had difficult times before but when a goalie makes decisive saves then it's good for him."

"It was a good penalty but unfortunately Petr Cech has made a great save," Hammers boss Gianfranco Zola said. "Penalties look easy but from experience, I can say they are not."
