Arsenal's Petr Cech surpasses David James, sets Premier League clean-sheet record

Petr Cech stands alone.

The Arsenal shot-stopper, by virtue of his clean sheet in Monday's 2-0 victory over Bournemouth, surpassed David James as the Premier League record holder in that category, notching the 170th shutout of his fantastic career in the top flight of England football.

James, who set the now-beaten standard with stints at Liverpool, Aston Villa, West Ham, City, and Portsmouth, needed 572 matches to reach the total.

The Czech international, meanwhile, required only 352 games to usurp the Englishman at the top of the mountain, breaking the record with Arsenal after spending the majority of his career between the sticks at Chelsea.
