Raya's saves the best Arteta has ever seen

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta hailed his goalkeeper David Raya, after the Spaniard's miraculous double save earned his side a 0-0 draw away to Atalanta in the Champions League on Sept 19.

But for Raya saving Mateo Retegui's 51st-minute penalty and then somehow springing across his goal to claw out the same player's headed rebound effort, the Gunners could have begun their campaign with a damaging defeat.

“I witnessed two of the best saves I've ever seen in my career from David in that moment,” Arteta said.

“If you can't win, you have to take the point. We started well, then we lost control and were very inconsistent. We didn't suffer defensively, apart from the penalty.”

Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini was equally in awe.

“He's a cat. The first save is good but the rebound is unbelievable. The goalkeeper has been crucial,” the Italian said.
