In the Champions League, David Raya made an incredible double save to deny Mateo Retegui of Atalanta, sending Arsenal supporters into a frenzy.

Consequently, what happened?

Thomas Partey was found to have fouled Ederson inside the Arsenal penalty area early in the second half of the Gunners’ first-ever European match. But Raya jumped back to block Retegui’s headed rebound after stepping up to deny the Italy international from the spot.

In just four Premier League games this season, Raya has already shown incredible form, keeping three clean sheets. He has now confirmed his status as the Gunners’ first-choice custodian once more.
