Football: Petr Čech’s 16th clean sheet means he will, at worst, tie for Premier League Golden Glove

Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Čech’s 16th clean sheet at the weekend means he will at worst tie for this year’s Barclay’s Golden Glove awarded the keeper with the most shutouts. Three other keepers were in the running: Kasper Schmeichel, Joe Hart, David De Gea. Both Schmeichel and Hart conceded goals in their final season matches; the final game between Manchester United and Bournemouth was postponed due to a bomb scare, so De Gea could still tie for the award. Čech secured the Golden Glove on three previous occassions with former club Chelsea.
