Cech takes blame for blunder

PETR CECH refused to make any excuses for his culpability in Chelsea’s defeat to Arsenal but insists the Barclays Premier League title race is far from over.

The Gunners’ 1-0 victory at Emirates Stadium on Sunday saw them keep their lead at the summit and take them six points ahead of their third-placed opponents.

Former Chelsea defender William Gallas headed the first-half winner after Cech committed himself to catching a corner but failed to collect the ball.
