'Better than Cech!' - Arsenal fans fall in love with Ospina

Arsenal fans fell in love with back-up goalkeeper David Ospina all over again in Tuesday's clash with Basel.

'Chelsea will lose advantage to Arsenal'

Lucas Perez scored a hat-trick in the Champions League tussle, but at the other end Arsene Wenger had Ospina to thank for keeping the Swiss hosts out.

The vast majority of Arsenal fans were gushing their affection for Petr Cech's reserve...

OSPINA IS THE ONLY DRUG COLOMBIA NEEDS

Ospina has been class in the UCL for us. Another crazy good save. Happy to have him at my club.

Ospina is definitely the best reserve keeper in the league

I'm pleased Ospina's getting Champions league games. Cech replaced him while he was in excellent league form. Seemed harsh.#bbcfootball

Ospina actually is better than Cech

...but not everyone was convinced!

I don’t trust Ospina. I never will.

Ospina really looking dodgy tonight absolutely clueless goalkeeping

Sceptical Andy and Sach were in the minority in pouring scorn on Ospina, however, who won many more admirers with his performance in Switzerland.
