Arsenal fans took to social media to slam Petr Cech for his performance against Newcastle United on Sunday.

The Gunners lost 2-1 to the Magpies during their meeting at St James’ Park, and supporters knew who they blamed for their side’s failure to win the game.

Arsene Wenger’s side originally took the lead in the match through Alexandre Lacazette in the 14th minute, but Rafa Benitez’s side got back on level terms just 15 minutes later.

Ayoze Perez scored the Magpies’ equaliser as his effort crept inside the near post, with Cech unable to keep it out.

One Gunners fan tweeted sarcastically that Perez’s goal was the 752nd time Cech had been beaten at his near post.

That was one of the nicer comments, as several fans stated that the 35-year-old goalkeeper had never been good enough for the club.

One suggested that he was the worst signing of the Emirates era, while another claimed that Wenger should be sacked for playing him.

Gunners fans no doubt would have been even more frustrated to see Cech concede again in the 68th minute, as Matt Ritchie scored to make it 2-1 to the Magpies.

Cech arrived at the Emirates in 2015 from Chelsea and has since made 114 appearances for the Gunners.

The veteran goalkeeper is contracted to stay with the club until 2019.
