Former Manchester United captain, Garry Neville, has given the credit to David Raya following Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Aston Villa on Saturday.
The Spaniard displayed an eye-catching performance against Aston Villa on Saturday.
Raya proved his worth as Mikel Arteta’s men came out on top at Villa and recorded a back to back victory in the Premier League.
Leandro Trossard came off the bench to put Arsenal in front in the 67th minute before Thomas Party put the icing on the cake 10 minutes later.
However, Arsenal could have been a goal down before the hour mark if not for some brilliant goalkeeping from Raya.
He kept out two attempts in quick succession in the 54th minute from Amadou Onana and Ollie Watkins.
Neville said on Sky Sports: “How Raya reacts, wow. He comes from nowhere.
Fellow journalist Nick Wright added: “Brilliant from Raya to get back up and deny Watkins from the rebound. The Villa striker can’t quite believe he’s not scored. Neither can the home fans around us in the press box.”
Neville concluded: “The moment of the match was the save from Raya.”
