Arsenal fans all left blown away by David Raya heroics vs Atalanta, they make one bold statement
Arsenal battled to a 0-0 draw away at Atalanta in a tough Champions League opener, and one player was the clear hero of the night.
Mikel Arteta’s side endured difficult opposition in Atalanta and were fearing the worst as Thomas Partey gave a penalty away, but goalkeeper David Raya stepped up to save the day with a huge moment.
Atalanta striker Mario Retegui stepped up to take the penalty, but Raya went down to his right to save the initial effort, before producing a truly world-class stop as a player attempted to head in the rebound.
This came after Raya consulted goalkeeping coach Inaki Cana on the touchline just before the penalty, in an eyebrow-raising, but clearly effective moment.
Raya went on to keep a clean sheet, and Arsenal secured a point on the road in one of their toughest games in the Champions League schedule, and it is not the first huge game-saving moment he has had this season.
Arsenal fans are delighted with Raya, and they now believe that in his current form, he is the best goalkeeper in the world.
