Petr Cech takes Arsenal Women squad out for dinner to congratulate achievement and foots entire bill

The former Chelsea goalkeeper showed his generosity by spending the evening at a sushi restaurant in London

Petr Cech rewarded Arsenal Women for their excellent work so far this season by treating them to a meal out.

The Gunners goalkeeper, who will retire at the end of the season, has been impressed by Arsenal Women's success this term.

Joe Montemurro's side have a great chance of catching current Women's Super League leaders Manchester City Women with just two points between them and two games in hand.

In addition to a potential league title, they are preparing for a seventh Women Super League Cup final in eight years this weekend against City.

And Cech showed his geneorisity in the build-up by paying for the entire bill at London restaurant Sushi Samba.

Dutch midfielder Danielle van de Donk shared pictures of the meal, revealing Cech had kept his word, suggesting the veteran shot-stopper had promised the meal previously.

"Especially with Petr Cech #manofhisword #thankyou #sushisamba #arsenal."

The Gunners have a 1-0 deficit to erase in the second leg at the Emirates to reach the last 16.
