Petr Cech was named the man of the match on his ice hockey debut as he led the Guildford Phoenix to a shoot-out victory over the Swindon Wildcats.

The former Chelsea and Arsenal goalkeeper - now a technical adviser with the Blues - saved two efforts in the shoot-out as his side beat Swindon's second string 3-2 at the Guildford Spectrum.

Cech, who played the sport as a youngster in the Czech Republic, joined the fourth-tier ice hockey team earlier this week.

His side took the lead through Jacob Rondeau-Smith early in the second period but trailed 2-1 heading into the third.

An equaliser from Taylor Wootton took the game into overtime, which ended goalless and forced a shoot-out.

Cech saved Swindon's first and last efforts to secure his side the victory and was subsequently rated as Guildford's best player on the night.
