Two headers by Craig Dawson and a strike from Hal Robson-Kanu did the damage for the home side and piled more misery on Arsenal skipper Arsene Wenger. Arsenal's misery was compounded when Cech was forced out with a muscle strain during the first half. If Cech is absent for a prolonged period it would be a significant blow to Wenger as he battles to lift his side back into contention.
