Cape Town - Wojciech Szczesny says he has sympathy for Reading goalkeeper Adam Federici and believes the Australian deserves “a lot of credit”.
Federici made a string of fine saves in a fiercely-contested FA Cup semi-final but, having impressed for long periods, allowed Alexis Sanchez's extra-time shot to squirm under his body.
Szczesny too has some negative memories from Wembley. Arsenal’s No 1 was involved in a defensive mix-up during the 2011 League Cup final, and he is sure that Federici will recover from his error.
